Flaw in Numbering Map Downloads...maybe?
I tried downloading a map but I changed my mind....I got to the point of almost saying "yes" to download but I didn't click "Yes"....I clicked cancel instead. And that map gained 1 download....

Not a bug.. there is no way to determain if you clicked yes to download the map, then add a hit.. it adds one after you click the link assuming you downloaded it.

I might be telling it wrongly....OK...a hit after I downloaded it right?...But I compared it with dfbarracks....their's doesn't give a hit when you cancel the download. Hmmmm?

OK....to prove it....My map "Diamond" the original number of d/ls is 61...I'll make it 100. Just put it back to 61.

At least the maker can know that it was considered "or" downloaded X number of times. This is DFHQ.net. Not dfbarracks

I care....and maybe dfhq.net would attend to this matter if proven I'm right....for sure with their talents in programming, they can easily correct this asap.
If not then; This is DFHQ.net. Not dfbarracks

dfb does the same thing as this site does, just completly reload the page, after trying by pressing F5. You have to understand how downloading works to know what I am talking about. When you click the LINK it is set as a download, because to get the file to you it has to go through the script, as soon as it goes through the script theres no going back, and it just isn't possible to know if you clicked "Save" or "open", because it is part of your Browser and not our script. Because buy that time it is passed throug the script..
I can't do anything about that, except maybe add a ip based tracker so if you click the link twice you only get one hit per user on the same map. That's all I can do. And to do that, with a few thousand maps, and a few hundred, even thousand hits on each map it would take a nice ammount on the db size to track them all.

Still? I made an example....if you look at the number of d/ls of the map "Diamond" it is now 101....it used to be 61.
I clicked cancel for 39 times....and that's how I got 39 more hits in 4 minutes.

For the last time, websites can only tell if you clicked the link, past that they have no conrtol.
