 >> file. Only the telnet download appears to be counted in total.  ie. 8 files
 >> sent 4 on telnet 4 via web page only 4 downloads counted in the total

It's a mystery then. From what I can see, webv4 is doing what it should to tell the system that a given file was downloaded, but for whatever reason that's not causing your system-wide "files_downloaded_today" to be updated.

 >> was curious, why would someone have more than one account? For testing?

You might want a regular user account to test with so you know how things look to a normal user. Some problems might not be apparent to you because your sysop account is unrestricted. Useful in some situations like testing your own scripts.

You might also want to know what it looks like when two different users interact on your BBS, eg. sending and receiving messages, chat, etc.
