Downloads - the number of times your image has been viewed at full size but not necessarily saved to a computer

the ASSUMPTION, of course, is that it was saved to a computer ...

that's why I am going broke updating my resumé .. gotta have correct numbers under the Number of Households Influenced favorably by me should I run for Grand Poobah

I install little tracking devices on each image, at GREAT expense to me

But why would anybody assume that?

I certainly view images at full size which I don't download - and which I sometimes have no intention of downloading. Most of the images I get comment requests for fall into this category, as do all the images I'm curious about for some reason or another or which are the subject of discussions which interest me. Very rarely, I decide to download the image, but this is the exception. Then there are the images I think I might download but turn out not to like as much on further inspection...

This is not to say people don't assume it, but just that there are many good reasons not to and few (except the name "downloads" to do so.

hmmmmm ... OK ... your system seems to be a derivative of the "Is this jar of pickles low in sodium?"... oh! .. on closer inspection of the label, I see that it is not

my comment was MOSTLY harmless .. and .. intended as humor ... but, on closer inspection of the label, I guess not

I have a dial-up connection (all cavemen do) ... I have evolved a high-tech selection system ... I either want an image or I don't

Sorry, 'tis late here. Or, rather, early. I only reacted because people really do make the assumption but you only have to think for half a second to know that Caedes could not be counting the number of actual downloads.

Apologies also for the missing bracket (parenthesis to the U.S.). Here is one to make up for it: ).

At least you have a cave... I don't actually have an internet connexion at all. Ah, for a cave of one's own...

as the great Beavis and Butthead once said .. rather eloquently, I might add

You gotta have stuff that sucks in order to have stuff that's cool


... some say they stole that premise from another, more refined author .. but don't believe it

There is no difference between full size and download.Both leave an image file on your hardrive.
