Stats can be useful in other ways, though...
For example, if certain episodes are proving to be more popular than
others it might give people an idea of what topics to focus on more. If
we can see over time which episodes are being returned to (ie,
re-downloaded or continue to be downloaded months after initial release)
it might give some idea of things to follow up on. If certain
presenters appear to have a stronger following than others, that might
give some ideas as well.
It's really a question of how useful the stats can be in building
profiles and demographics.
Now, I am not suggesting that HPR should only be driven by statistics,
but that it might just give us some insight into things and help improve
the content / focus that our audience wants from us.

(Again) Failing to garner any support for my point of view, the
downloads stats will be compiled monthly and will be added to the
site.
It's now officially on the list. Implementation will take longer
because
of higher priorities.
