These are not "downloads" per se; these are "hits on a download page". For
a normal person's viewpoint (which is perhaps different from a webmaster's
normal viewpoint), a download happens when they get they file they want.
My point is only it's misleading to refer to them as "downloads" when
they're something different. Lets say "162,500 hits to the 3.1 download
sites" (or some such) so that we cannot be accused of overstating our
success.
