Questions, answered
Does it publish or change episodes?
No. WebRun only reads your Libsyn stats. It never publishes, schedules, edits, or unpublishes an episode, and it never changes a destination.
Where do the numbers come from?
Directly from the Libsyn stats pages for the last seven days. WebRun reports the figures Libsyn shows and never estimates or rounds a download count.
Can it compare a new episode fairly?
Yes. It measures the newest release over its first seven days and compares that against your recent seven day average, so a new episode is not judged against a back catalogue.
