I just wonder because the downloads of my map still continues to go up everyday. This is an old HL map and i cant beileve that people are still downloading and playing it with HL2 out. True that the download count is not exactly amazing.

I don't think so. Some of my old maps are still being downloaded too. Perhaps because they're so easily accessible through your profile, thus when you're very active more people will likely take a look at your maps.
And old maps aren't necessarily bad maps after all...

I suppose. I have been posting quite a lot lately, maybe due to the fact that i have very little to do at work.

Maybe he's just downloading his own map so he can get pimpage for it.

I totally understand what u mean. The number of downloads is so unpredictable: my map for example is maybe the fifth most downloaded map in here, while its rating is only 3/5. I think they're downloading it because its name starts with a number, and people are too lazy to browse. Never ever name your map something starting with "Z". Good nomenclature examples: 007, 0000X, AAAYAYAY, etc...
