As any else noticed when you view an imagine it counts you there, then after you dowload it your counted again, making it go up twice for one viewing. This must be giving a false viewing number and affect the ratings etc.
I think that you are mistaken in thinking that you are the one to cause the count increase. I've taken great care in avoiding the situation that you're describing. It is more likely that someone else was viewing the images at the same time that you were. Also keep in mind that when you first go to the image's page, the view count does not include your view, so if you reload that page you might think that it has counted you twice.
Ok thanks for explaining all this to me. :) I will keep an eye on the counter next time I go to an image, vote, leave a comment and download it. If it changes more then once I will let you know.
Thanks
