Something very weird about those numbers, it's only up to 36,247 3 weeks later. Are there a bunch of bots that grab everything new off downloads.com?

That must be very disappointing. It would be hard not to be excited and do the theoretical mathematics of "wow, 6k per day x 365 x 1% sales"....

Did you only just put it on download.com? Surely it deserved to be on there years ago.

Thanks for your excellent reviews.

Macro Scheduler has been on download.com for years. The listing was updated recently (it wasn't completely new). The download count is since the previous version was listed a year or so ago. Download.com used to reset the download count with each new version listing, but now roll it over. Don't know when they started doing that so it is hard to know how long that download count is relevent for. Be sure it is not 36k a week! Download.com also changed their subscription model a while back so that's another reason why the listing changed.

Do you have to pay to have your software on there? I was thinking of writing a compiled exe, packaging it with some kind of setup program, and uploading it. I looked at it a couple of years ago and thought it was free.

Yes, you do have to pay.

, sorry if I started any confusion, I thought when you wrote "We have a new listing" you meant a, uh, new listing

I see our reviews default to only those for the current version, unless the visitor selects all, but they are all good so you should be pleased to have such a well appreciated product.

The confusion on my part was cuz I thought "me again" was "support again" using a very clever nic. I only just realized you're 2 different people.

That's a pretty good username though - does it confuse other people, or just me?

I believe you have the honor of being the first

It just seemed appropriate when I was starting out and pestering folks with my questions.

I've added a location now so maybe that will help
