What are downloads?
"Download numbers are one of the most obvious metrics for measuring the success of your podcast. They are immediately accessible to you, from the minute you launch your first episode. Watching the numbers climb can be rewarding. Some might even say addictive." - Matthew from The Podcast Host
Downloads are counted when someone listens to your podcast episode via your website (embedded players) or podcast apps.
