Abuse / Issues with the DJ Mix Counter

So, I was looking over the counters for downloads on the mix section after seeing what I considered to be 'suspicious irregularities". I just spent basically 6 hours going through the log files for each mix and suffice to say, a few things came up.

The download counters for several of the files were way off for a couple of reasons.

1) Certain DJs just clicking on their own mixes over and over again trying to boost their rankings. These were pretty obvious when looking over the logs. I guess people don't realize that I can actually check this stuff

2) There were a lot of people doing this "double clicking" thing and the count numbers were getting raised almost exponentially for the popular mixes. Sometimes the click count was way more than 2 times but when i checked the users who were doing it, they weren't the djs in question so I figure they were just impatient users clicking a lot....kinda like pushing the close door button on an elevator hoping it will actually close faster. This is why there was such a huge difference in the numbers between some of the mixes.

Anyways, I will be changing the system in V2 but suffice to say, I will be keeping a closer eye on this from now on. If I catch any DJs boosting their numbers again, I will remove the mix from the site and possibly suspend their accounts.

For the other issue, please just click the download button once and be patient. It might take a little while but the download will eventually show up.

If the problem continues, I will just remove the "top 10" section all together.
