I was fiddling on the Holds page today, and decided to sort the Holds by number of downloads, getting these statistics:
Journey to the Goblin Kingdom I: 154135
Beethro's Bad Dream: 153700
The steps: 38703
H I J K: 30094
Treasure Hunt Master Quest: 17532
Dugan's Dungeon Revisited: 6128
Bavato's Dungeon: 3541

Now, the question is: why do the first two holds have a gigantic download count compared with the others? And why is it The steps and H I J K have yet another giant step over the others?

Something definitely seems wrong. How could THMQ have more downloads than TH?!?

I'd say in general that download numbers over 10,000 are pretty suspect.

H I J K isn't worth that many downloads, in my opinion. And what should be on the top of that list: JtRH! Closely followed by KDD 2.0 and Perfection.

Well...official holds (including Smitemaster's Selections) don't appear on that list at all. Presumably since you don't get them in the same way as most other holds.
