About Download Count
What it does
This script will fetch your addon page from the three major release sites and provide you with at total of the download counts from the sites.
To run this code you need to get socket. You can get it from: LuaForge.
Important Note
This is not an addon to be run in WoW. It is a developer utility if they are interested in knowing how many downloads they have from the three major release sites.
Where to get it
- CurseForge - Often Beta quality
- Curse - Most updated stable version
How to get it to work
Once installed, run it via:
lua5.1 DownloadCount.lua CurseID WoWUIID WoWIID
The CurseID is your ID on Curse.com, WoWUIID is the ID on WoWUI and WoWIID is the ID on WoW Interface.
For example, with Ackis Recipe List it is:
lua5.1 DownloadCount.lua arl 5061 8512
With Querier, it would be:
lua5.1 DownloadCount.lua querier 6461 9072
For a working example, please take a look at the example page. You need to have Lua5.1 in your path with luasocket installed.

I'm failing to see the use for this?
It was a lesson in learning how to parse web-pages with LUA, so I decided to share it in the off chance someone cared for it.
