Script Download Counts

1-Dec-2022 Update

Back in October 2022, there was a bad update to the WordPress plugin I use to track the count of downloads that reset all counts to zero. In an attempt to recover the counts, my hosting provider followed the instructions from the plugin’s author. The download counts are now FUBAR and unreliable. As of 1-Nov-2022, I have been unable to get an accurate count. As of 1-Dec-2022, the counts are so out of whack I do not see a way to recover them and make the numbers accurate. My apologies to those who may depend on the counts, but I can no longer provide an honest set of download numbers.

Sorry.

=================================================================

I am now tracking the download counts as of the first day of each month. This allows those who contribute scripts and tools to track the counts so they have the data for their community contribution data reported for CTPs, MVPs, vExperts, or employer-requested data.

At the bottom of this article is a table showing the differences in download counts so anyone can see just how popular a particular download is.

Sometime during the night of 5-Nov-2021 and early morning of 6-Nov-2021, the script download count broke 600,000. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. All the script testers, contributors, authors, and I thank you. We are glad you find all the scripts and files useful.

On 28-Sep-2019, the script downloads broke the 500,000 downloads barrier. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. Along with the other script authors and contributors, we are glad you find these scripts useful.

On 25-Jan-2018, the script downloads broke 400,000 downloads.

I recently found the original release date for every script and file and calculated the average monthly downloads. I discovered that the scripts and files as of 30-Sep-2022 have had 133 consecutive months where every script has had at least one download. That is ELEVEN+ YEARS of consecutive months with downloads. WOW! Thank you, community, for your support.

In February 2022, I added 13 PDFs to the downloads. While their download counts appear in the total downloads, I do not count the PDFs towards the months of consecutive downloads.

Note: You may notice a considerable jump from the 1-Feb-2018 to the 1-Mar-2018 download count. Let me explain. In February 2018, I moved all the download files from Dropbox to Citrix ShareFile. Because of that move, I searched everything on my site for the word “dropbox” to change all links to ShareFile. While making the hundreds of required changes, I came across several scripts I had forgotten about and had never put on the Downloads page. One of those scripts had almost 10,000 downloads, and I never knew it. I used Google Analytics going back to June 2013 to get all the download counts for the forgotten scripts. I decided not to spend hours gathering monthly download counts and updating all the counts for 57 months. I was lazy and decided to lump all the new download counts into the February 2018 stats. This decision also means the average daily downloads for February 2018 are skewed.
