Do we know the download counters for various dictionaries? If not, worth having. This will give some idea about relative importance of dictionaries for users and also help us focus on upkeep of hotcake dictionaries.

The way to do this would be to create releases by dumping all tar.gz files for a collection (such as sa-vyAkaraNa or sa-head/en-entries) such as this (easy with drag and drop) and use those URL-s to regenerate the appropriate tars.md file. (<-- Will figure out how to do that.) Then, one can get stats as shown here. As a side effect, this is likely to result in fewer download problems as downloading from release rather than "raw" might be more robust.

This is wonderful way to handle both goals

  1. Keeping user interface pegged to robust 'releases' rather than raw 'dev versions'.
  2. GDC tracks the downloads almost real time. I tried, tested. Works miraculously well.
