303: Uncle Miltie

"averaged 261,670 downloads a week during its first month, and at around Feb 6th, 2006 they had 5 million downloads overall." This is what is questionable. Where are these numbers from? are they verified? and how do they compare to others?

the figures are quoted here

it's 261,670 downloads per episode not hard when featured in a national newspaper and wrote a famous show. it was rehashed material from their XFM radio show for the most part as well.

And Twit has more then 350,000 downloads per episode. Which by my count beats Ricky's numbers. There was quite a stink about the record when it was first announced. And that claim was pulled from teh main page later that week. I don't know if it was ever independently verified or not.
