The frustrating thing here for me is that both issues seem so easy to solve.
-Cheating by not adding a download from your own page to the download count
-letting people set there own default page. Naturally you have to start with a page in the very beginning and if that is pop now so be it, but I don't see why after changing the page it can't stay changed until you change it again.
I am not a tech person so I don't know if this is technically harder to achieve than I think it is. The situation as it is would be a lot more acceptable to me if someone with the technical knowhow can explain to me that these solutions aren't possible.
Your first suggestion isn't good for some reason. Even though it forbids you from using 'the self-downloading' trick yourself, you can ask other players to add downloads to your creations anyway. See, it's not that easy to solve. What about the 'one person per one download' concept? It has the same concept like 'one person per one fav'. When you download a creation to your library, the total is increased one time. And when you delete it from your library, the total is decreased one time, too.
“You can ask other players to add downloads to your creations anyway“
Maybe it’s just me but I wouldn’t spend 20+ minutes repeatedly downloading someone else’s work to boost their stats. I think that sounds pretty fishy, and like a monumental waste of time and energy.
I like the idea that self-downloads don’t count toward the total. I don’t see why anyone should have an issue with that, as the creator of the item you only need to download it if you are playing on a different computer. Everything you upload is automatically saved to the library, and unless you delete it there shouldn’t be a need to download it at all.
