Change how 'most downloaded' are listed?

All four 'top downloads' are from 2008. That's interesting and all, but it's pretty useless for somebody heading into the download section looking for something recent.

Why not change it to top downloads for the past 30 days?

Uh...because it displays the Top Downloads.

Uh... yeah, I got that.

I don't think my post said 'DERP, WHAT DOES TOP DOWNLOADS MEAN?' - I was asking how useful is Top Downloads of All Time *really* for somebody who's looking at the download section? How relevant are downloads that are four years old to your typical user, especially when most programs here are things that get patched/fixed some time after they're released? I mean, the most downloaded items *ever* is an interesting statistic, sure, but how USEFUL are they to people browsing the downloads?
