The Win32Utils project is the first project in RubyForge history (that I know of) to reclaim a "Top Project Downloads" position.

We were in 11th place, but dropped to 12th when Watir passed us several weeks ago. In the last day or so Win32Utils passed Watir, so we're back in 11th.

How did it happen? I've been tracking daily downloads somewhat, and I'm fairly certain the downloads increased by about 25% after I created a home page for the project:

http://win32utils.rubyforge.org/

It's nothing special, but it seems to have driven traffic up to our project rather dramatically.

Let this be a lesson to any other project leaders who don't yet have a project home page. :)
