There were no comments and the ratings weren&#8217;t changed much, which was exactly as I expected.   But the download numbers overloaded my mind.  I didn&#8217;t expect them to be so high.  Especially, considering the fact that all of these images are available via <a href=\"http:\/\/flickr.com\/photos\/mamchenkov\/\">my Flickr account<\/a>, where they can be downloaded in several resolutions instead of just 1024&#215;768 that I posted to KDE Look.
