I seem to remember either an undocumented Mystic MCI code or something
in the language file years ago that was possible to add a Times downloaded field to the files listing for files. Am i dreaming? If anyone knows how this is possible give me a holler - thanks.

Ok i found the line in the language file

; Lightbar file list, uploaded by: &5 = uploader
436 pipe07pipe$D29 + Uploader: pipe&5 Times Downloaded pipe&3

As you can see on the comment line above it does NOT indicate using
the mci code pipe &3 which means Times Downloaded. So i added that
to the line and its works!

Its line 436 you want to edit.

So any reason for not also handling line 437?

; Lightbar file list, uploaded by: &5 = uploader
436 |07|$D29 + Uploader: |&5 Times Downloaded |&3
; Standard file list, uploaded by: &5 = uploader
437 |07|$D29 + Uploader: |&5 Times Downloaded |&3

I usually update both ;)
