So downloading the complete book as a zip is 1 download.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.
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
