List the number of downloads a replay has #2809

I like stats and this would be a nice stat to have. I want to know how many people are stalking my replays! It would be complementary to the replay rating statistic.

We had this in the past for maps but it wasn't feasible to track because it was easily faked and also there is no recoverability of the stat in the case that the server is down.

@Brutus5000 did you have any other comments/thoughts?

I think downloads counter is enough even if it is easily faked, there is nothing you can get by cheating on this numbers

Of course you can gain something: popularity. As soon as this feature is in the next request is sorting replays by number of downloads. We could track players downloading the replays as I don't expect anonymous downloads. That would remove cheating options.
