What's a "Whole lot"

[omegaevolution]

it also depends on the amount of time a video has been available...

my most dled LOCAL video (Walking in the Butterflies) has been about for a year and 3 months

LOCAL (2504)

while Something Fishy has been out for just over 3 months and it has passed that already (if you count direct downloads)

DIRECT (1079)
LOCAL (1784)

@_@
this kinda weirds me out mostly because I'm not used to so many downloads in such a short amount of time.

well Something Fishy is special, it has TUNA!!!, what else would you expect? XD

and yeah other factors of the downloads are amount of time there in local, codec used in the vid (and maybe resolution of the vid if anyone checks , I usually don't download 320x240 vids), popularity of the editor, maybe scores in ops? and maybe the kind of vid aswell?, dunno maybe comedy and fun has more download rate than a romance vid? (just an example).

and I'm sure there are more O:

Lemme see here, I'll throw out some numbers for fun:

# DLs (After about a year)
0-100: An unknown AMV that was only posted via the org, not shown elsewhere or announced.

100-500: An AMV that might have appeared at a convention of two or attracted a small amount of attention from members of the editing community via announcements or recommendations.

500-1000: An AMV that might have been shown at multiple conventions or won at a small convention. Also it had attracted attention from the editing community spread by recommendations, announcements, or praise.

1000-5000: An AMV that was recognized at a large event, contest or convention. Also it has been widely recognized by the editing community and has developed a wider fanbase from across different websites and such.

5000-XXXXX: An AMV that is widely recognized by almost any follower of the hobby and has been recognized by national conventions, contests, and a large populous of AMV fans/editors all across the internet.

Just some loose estimates based off my own experiences with mine and friends AMVs. Granted it doesn't factor in how popular you are as an editor or your predetermined fanbase from either your reputation or nature of the video. Just more numbers to throw around as an answer. A great deal of exposure comes from conventions, contests, editor networking and vid pimping. If you make a modest effort then you can get your vid seen by alot of people.

I think your overdoing it a little... seriously though, your making me sad.

Its a shame I cant get the exact number on my top downloaded video's. I took down indirect links allot and put up new ones as apposed to just editing the old ones. So I lost scores on those. F.E.A.R. for instance has 13133 hits, 2316 local downloads but only 1958 stars. Both current links have about 1K downloads on each as well. But I took down the 2 mpegs and the old 4:3 xvid and changed hosting on my h264 twice. So I have no clue what numbers I'm looking at. I honestly can't base my "rep" off my downloads. So in other words no use counting downloads to rate your internet cock. As it is most likely off by a mile or 2.

I don't or atleast haven't been announcing my videos... So i don't expect much to begin with.
