Downloads without Views?

This is kind of a question/bug/suggestion. I've noticed that I'm getting downloads on an application without any views.

I don't know if this is an issue with the time, where a user views the previous day, then downloads the next day. I'm just wondering if someone found a way to access the widget or something, or is distributing my product without my permission.

Any help would be useful!

Any downloads that might happen in the app where the person doesn't open the game page would increase the download counter without increasing the view counter. Additionally, for download keys, if someone navigates directly through the download page (for example, a game they purchased) and downloads then the view counter will not increase.

Hope that explains it
