On Friday, 2 December 2011 I uploaded a pdf, named locse021_three_simulations.pdf, as an attachment to a post in this thread.
I have noticed that every time that I post in this thread the number of recorded views of the thread goes up over a day or so by about ten to twenty, yet I am puzzled that nobody seems to have looked at the locse021_three_simulations.pdf document as yet.
At the time of writing this note, the message with the attachment is as follows.

As far as I know, the forum counts a direct viewing as a download.
The two recorded downloads are as a result of me viewing the file online to check that all is well and as a result of me downloading the file to local storage and then displaying it from there, so as to check that all is well.
I am puzzled because people seem to quickly look at the thread when I add a new post, so my posts are not being ignored, yet as far as I know, nobody has looked at the attachment.
There used to be a situation that Search Engine Bots were accessing the forums and inflating the view counts, though I am under the impression that that was changed some time ago so that only genuine views by a human are recorded.
Whilst recognizing that people may simply be exercising a choice not to look at the attachment, I am wondering if there is perhaps a perceived issue that opening a pdf could pose a virus or trojan threat of some sort.
As I say, I am pussled that the thread gets a good number of views yet the pdf is not being viewed.
Any thoughts on this please?
