I have a view, node row style, and the nodes are the audio content type, the full node. The audio nodes display the download link with download count, as well as the audio player- its close to the out-of-the-box configuration.

I think that the download counts are incorrect. All the audio nodes in this video jumped up by a similar number (70 or so) of downloads over a period of about a month or so. It isn't reasonable for me to assume that this is due to real traffic.

I am using the Aegir site manager. Do you think that maybe provision-verify is causing the download count to go up? Is this an issue that anyone here is familiar with?
