Well the short version of this long story is that those numbers are in no way representative of the current number of download, the remaining number of downloads or anything else. They are ment to be used as labels so you can see which download is for which longer description. This is particularly important for apt-get update where all the download threads are called Packages :> If you -really- think it is an issue I can add a configuration directive to change it <shrug> Jason
