I did some calculations on the mod stats on xelerus. In particular I was interested to find trends on the most appreciated mods. Is the most downloaded ? No because there are mods up for years and others only for weeks. Is it the most downloaded/day ? well, values are biased for recent mods, as today the community is larger than in the past so recent mods will receive more downloads/day than past mods. So what I did was to calculate the downloads/day and weight the results with the total number of downloads.
TOP 30 Fastest downloaded mods on xelerus (more than 2 downloads/day, number represents the actual number of downloads/day)
