Sadly, the download-counter doesn't work correct anymore ...
I know, the count of downloads does nor really correspond to the quality 
of a extension, but this information could be helpfull.

Another idea about some helpfull informations on extensions:
There colud/should be a counter on how often an extenson was installed 
and deinstalled on all Typo3-Installs:
Everytimes someone installes or deinstalls an extension, this could be 
counted on a central place (without any other details; simply a 
counter). I think this should be easy to add to EM.
And the relation of installs vs. deinstalls could give some hints, 
whether a extension was useful or not ...

What do you think ?
