Some of the download count numbers seem inflated. Specifically, the numbers since May seem too high. Here's Markdown Preview:

        }, {
            "version": "1.0.1",
            "published": "2014-03-29T16:27:25.497Z",
            "brackets": ">=0.37.0",
            "downloads": 1839
        }, {
            "version": "1.0.2",
            "published": "2014-04-08T23:03:48.986Z",
            "brackets": ">=0.37.0",
            "downloads": 3204
        }, {
            "version": "1.0.3",
            "published": "2014-05-07T16:58:33.321Z",
            "brackets": ">=0.37.0",
            "downloads": 282737
        }, {
            "version": "1.0.4",
            "published": "2014-05-30T13:45:20.333Z",
            "brackets": ">=0.37.0",
            "downloads": 169369
        }, {
            "version": "1.0.5",
            "published": "2014-06-03T21:08:49.714Z",
            "brackets": ">=0.37.0",
            "downloads": 205019
        }, {
            "version": "1.0.6",
            "published": "2014-06-09T00:27:22.542Z",
            "brackets": ">=0.37.0",
            "downloads": 295730
        }],

Notice that 1.0.2 logged 3,200 downloads in a month. 1.0.3 logged 282,000 in just over 3 weeks. Either there was a massive spike in the number of people using Markdown Preview, or the numbers are off.

Could it be some sort of bot that hit the S3 download bucket? Certainly seems to be a ubiquitous problem these days...
