As you might have noticed, some time ago I added actual download
statistics from the repositories to the product pages. (This is the graph
you can see there.

The download counter on the top of the page was based on clicks on the
install now button. This was of course not very fair, because there are
also a lot of downloads done via the application mananger.

I have now used the actual download stats that we get from repository
servers.

PS. If you have recently switched from hosting your own package to hosting
it through extras, the data is too low at the moment. I'm working on a fix
for that.
