[Solved]Download counter BukkitDev project

It updates every now and then. Don't expect it to go up directly.

 

Updates every day, I think.

 

Always been pretty much daily for me.

 

It says 209 downloads on that page.

 

The counter increases every 24h, so no need to worry.

 

Originally I thought so, too, aber what is the benefit for you?
Of course, you could sit in front of your computer all day long and watch your plugins download-counter rise up to the sky, but what for?

 

But now that you know it, you do not need this information-update that urgent.

 

Whoever made BukkitDev (Curse staff, I guess), could just use a simple PHP statement...
$downloads = file_get_contents(filenameforproject);
file_put_contents(filenameforproject, $downloads + 1);

echo($downloads);

Of course, they should probably use MySQL.

Question, though: why do they not update? Is it server-side caching?

 

Curseforge isn't a php project that we have the leisure of editing for whatever reason. You're talking about a massive infrastructure with literally thousands of databases which spans across multiple services, not just BukkitDev. I understand you're trying to suggest a way to accomplish this, but in this case I think you're preaching to the choir, or more likely the pastor.

 

I have no clue. I manage the team, Curse develops and hosts the site.

 

Even youtube doesn't show instant increase on number of views. If google does it, it can't be wrong right?

 

Though, we can all admit, Google ruined the hell outta YouTube...

 

YouTube One Channel layout is pretty bad.

 

Let's stay on topic.

 

Indeed.
