Joseph,

A couple of constructive criticisms. If you're going to write software
(and I encourage you to do so) and expect people to try it out and
report feedback, you need to at the very least:
 (a) make the software download location well known (I have no idea
where to get it), and saying "search for XXX" isn't good enough IMHO;
and
 (b) be able to articulate clearly what the purpose of the software is
and how its use would be beneficial to others, preferably on a web
site where you can detail its use, etc. If people don't know what the
software is useful for, they aren't likely to download it.

Without the above you are lucky to have even 40 downloads.

Just my 2 cents worth.

Cheers,
Mike
