Strange view to download ratio

On the 22nd my game got 29 downloads but only 16 views. How strange. Anyone know why?

Which game is that? If it has multiple versions for download, it's possible that some people tried several of them. Or if they have it in the app, the latter can re-download the game without registering another view. Not sure if download keys do.

Its called Myether, it doesn't have visible old versions, i guess aload of people could have re downloaded it in a single day. The strangest thing is every other day apart from the 22nd i have 0-5 downloads each day then all of a sudden big spike of 29 downloads in one day. It's very strange

I also had a big spike of downloads on the same day. The mystery deepens.

Leaf says it could be people who keep retrying failed downloads. That makes sense. A bad network day will happen to many people at the same time, and it would explain why there's such a big difference from page views.

That does make sense especially if a few people have the same problem and they all try downloading it multiple times each but it's still a very large number compared to other days. Might be something worth investigating a little

Maybe you looked into the future for a quick second
