While we wait for R1, I have a hack php script running a friend wrote that provides for a “Top 10” style listing off of the Download Manager data (among other custom functions, like urls to related posts, etc). You can see it running here, it’s the “Popular Items” box in the left sidebar:

It’s surely overly-verbose and makes more queries than necessary, but if anyone is interested let me know (if R1 is due soon, I’ll hold off on this.)
