There has been a number of queries about the download counts on Archive , so I thought people might like to see how Archive says they arrive at them
Quote from Archive FAQ (search for download count in FAQ
How are download counts calculated?

Downloads are calculated per item page, per IP address, per day. If you stream a show today, that's one download. If you view the txt file tomorrow, that's another download. If you download every file from a show's page the next day, that counts as one more download. If you download the same file a thousand times the day after that, that still only counts as one more download.
So downloading the complete book as a zip is 1 download.
Listening to a chapter each day is the number of chapters in the book downloads.
I suppose listening to 1 minute and deciding you don't like it is one download too :D
