upload, the number shown on LM
 

Hi every one, there is a small detail I'd like to have confirmation of :
In library, there are columns, and so, under "hits", are, I believe the number of times one or more of the words included in the title of one of the files has been asked for, for instance if the file is named "Schubert sonata for vln & pno", it will register 1 for each person on the web asking for example:"[Schubert] quartetts", or "Beethoven [vln & pno sonatas]" or "Brahms [sonata] for trombone" (there ain't any!!) or even "[piano] rags"... I thing that's what it is, but now, what about the next column ? it looks to be the amount of times a file has been downloaded, isn't it... but though, there is one thing : I've got some files here which seems to be very asked for, since in just few hours, the number shown on that column is 25, but the funny thing is that I didn't see 25 different uploaders of it, and so, could it be that it indicates also if some one (or few ones) was DLding from that uploader ? of course, I din't watch all the time what was going on, but I'd like to have some confirmation of it, if some one has the clue... :)

You've described the 'hits' well. Also, hits can include keywords in the path, and metadata.

The uploads column indicates attempts to upload and uploads completed.

Completed uploads also counts successful uploads of a requested part (i.e, it doesn't just count uploads of the complete file)

OK stief, thanks for the datum, so if I got it well, if the n° 25 appears, on the upload column, it could be 1 succesfull completed upL and 24 successfull partial uploads, or 25 succesfsfull completed, but also 25 successfull partial upLoads amounting to a total of 3 or 4 %... it should be a bit more precise, after all who cares the amount of partial UL, what counts it's to know if it has been uploaded onces or 200 times... and for the rare films, to bad, I prefer to wait long time for a good meal then having a crapy one on the spot in a quick !...

Actually most of the time a partial upload represents a successful UL due to the fact of swarming only a small portion is need from you.
