Wow, I wish I could give your post more than a 5! Well said.

Cool, I'm already looking forward to the drop in my points :laugh:

It's possible that the cause is related to that somehow. I certainly don't download the same file twice, but perhaps when I right-click the link to the file, and select "Save Link As" (Firefox 4) then two HTTP GET/HEAD requests are sent for some reason. The FlashGot Firefox add-on is also installed, and perhaps that is interfering in some way. In any case, if you don't feel this is a problem then please disregard my post :)

I rated the article[^], and then downloaded the single source file associated with it. And yet there are two entries awarding me points. Same thing for other articles, when I downloaded 2 files I get four points entries, etc.
