Hey all,

I believe this is by design, as the Gallery calculates number of downloads by unique EA accounts rather than total downloads.

This is to eliminate bad actors from spamming the download button on their own creations, and to give a more accurate count.

@EA_Cade I'm just seeing your reply now. I rarely, if ever, download my own items from the gallery, I keep a copy in my library so if I need it, I get it from there, not the gallery. My numbers still went down a lot on my more popular items despite that fact, as I can see from comments here, has also happened to many others. So while I understand the concept, it seems to be punishing those who aren't acting as a 'bad actor' and spamming their own downloads. 

Best regards,
Jennifer
