i know it's been like this forever, but why was there never a download count for tracks? i always liked having one in the truck section.

People click download links in order to inflate the download count, so they are not displayed on the page. The reason they are on the truck page is that RobbyH14 made a special request for it. He was helping out with a number of things at the time and I granted his request as a favor. I don't look at the counts because I don't believe they are an accurate representation of actual downloads. For tracks, check the details pages, eg: http://mtm2.com/~tracks/details.cgi?t=4702 The number in parenthesis beside the date is the download count. When I find numbers that don't jive with reality I then reset it to zero.

Yeah... I've downloaded Cale's Traxxas T-Maxx about 3 times now because every so often I have .POD clearouts...

Flagged tracks open it when you click the link.

Unflagged tracks can be viewed too. Just add the track's index number to this url
