I'm noticing that the count listed for a file varies for each user in testing the module. Anonymous users see the total download count. Every other authenticated user sees a different count listed for a file when viewing a node (depending on whether or not they have downloaded the file). Is this by design? I'd just like to have the total download count displayed, regardless of who is viewing the node.

Hi! Excuse me, but my English is not very good.
I love this gadget, but ...
... The view shows the uploader "uid". And does not show the downloader "uid"

Or you just did not say anything.
Please help me.

Yep-- it's by design. That's the way the module was setup when I took it over. Not sure it makes sense that way, but you can easily override it by using the theme function (see download_count.theme.inc).

@szinesz -- i'm not sure what you're asking, but it doesn't seem related to this issue, please open a new one if you still need help.

I just discovered this quirk of the module myself. I thought it was an illogical design choice until I saw that there's a section in the "User management>Permissions" settings that allows you to choose which user types can "view all download counts". I suppose it's conceivable that some site admins might not want the overall d/l count visible to just anyone. But since I did want that, adding the "view all" privilege for anonymous and authenticated users got everyone "on the same page" when it comes to seeing the correct d/l counts.
