My OXPs seem to be going better than usual as well. All hosted on my own site so they will have been found via here or the Wiki.
This is good :D

Last week, the TOGY Beta was downloaded twice.

This week it's been downloaded 9 times.

Not a great amount, but an increase nonetheless!

Mega!

I don't see drastic increases in downloads of my OXPs. What I do see—and find a little puzzling—are downloads of older versions of OXPs whose download links I removed from the Wiki when I put up a new version.

I have made it a point that I never create a direct download link anywhere else than on an OXPs individual Wiki page. All other places only link to that page. So I'm wondering whether some users are downloading from the Wiki history, or somebody has put up direct download links (to box.net) to previous versions of my OXPs without me knowing about it.

That's a good idea; hadn't thought about that.

Hello Everyone,

I hope this thing really ships some day. And I wouldn't be too surprised if Oolite will run on this thing some time after that. Until then some emulator with Elite will do the trick on the stick as well. An (Amiga, DOS PC, C64, ZX Spectrum ...) emulator Linux box on a stick. Gee, I really must get my hands on one of these!

P.S.: yes, my nickname is stupid and I'm the new guy. ;)
