Administrators Jon Posted April 30, 2004 Administrators Posted April 30, 2004 I just noticed that the listing for AutoIt that I put on download.com sends virtually no traffic to the site (~800 downloads a day and only about 30 from download.com). It was the same with AutoIt v2 when that used to have a listing. Odd, but whatever.Could I ask that people add reviews (be nice or i'll sulk!) to the entry to see if that is the reason for the lack of traffic. According to my weblogs most people find AutoIt via search engines and the freeware sites but it can't hurt to give download.com a prod as well. I'm quite interested to see if the lack of reviews affects things this much.The link to add reviews is at http://download.com.com/3000-2094-10266756.html?tag=lst-0-1There is a link at the bottom of the page.Cheers.J
emmanuel Posted April 30, 2004 Posted April 30, 2004 so, you're saying you want us to write scripts to bombard download.com with autoit hits? JK have a great weekend. "I'm not even supposed to be here today!" -Dante (Hicks)
Developers Jos Posted May 1, 2004 Developers Posted May 1, 2004 Could I ask that people add reviews (be nice or i'll sulk!) to the entry to see if that is the reason for the lack of traffic.

I'm quite interested to see if the lack of reviews affects things this much. Its a bit strange to see a software package made available on March 4 and then see 7 reviews all on April 30 and all ThumbsUp (and lots of red dots too ).... Could this wave of interest be a coincidence ?

"Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP/2003 Server" Even though you mention 4 OSes for which there is no "Server" version, I can see how people could think a "server" is required. (Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP/2003 Desktop or Server) would hopefully nail it.Gene Edited May 1, 2004 by Gene [font="Verdana"]Thanks for the response.Gene[/font]Yes, I know the punctuation is not right...

Administrators Jon Posted May 3, 2004 Author Administrators Posted May 3, 2004 I wish they would hurry with SP2 - too many hotfixes in Add/Remove programs.
Valik Posted May 3, 2004 Posted May 3, 2004 I wish they would hurry with SP2 - too many hotfixes in Add/Remove programs.I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who hates seeing all those hotfixes there...

Helge Posted May 4, 2004 Posted May 4, 2004 I wish they would hurry with SP2 - too many hotfixes in Add/Remove programs.Why not make a script that fixes that ?
ezzetabi Posted May 4, 2004 Posted May 4, 2004 you can! Just make a script that delete the registry keys that should uninstall useful stuff... Uh?!? To make a review I have to register? No way.
Helge Posted May 4, 2004 Posted May 4, 2004 you can! Just make a script that delete the registry keys that should uninstall useful stuff...I'm with you on that one...Uh?!? To make a review I have to register? No way.What ?
Administrators Jon Posted May 4, 2004 Author Administrators Posted May 4, 2004 take one for the team... (is this a U.S. expression?)Yes, but it's understood in the UK at least.
Helge Posted May 4, 2004 Posted May 4, 2004 What ?OOooh...Took a time before I understood, but I managed to figure it out !Clever me !
Batch Posted May 4, 2004 Posted May 4, 2004 I "took one for the team" (US dude here) and created an extra email account just so that I could post a positive review of AutoIt, it is so very worthy, hehe.

CyberSlug Posted May 5, 2004 Posted May 5, 2004 (edited) I've been wondering: Why the name HiddenSoft?You're using download.com to promote an open source project? Shouldn't you creating obscure and proprietary software?
