I have worried and feared then accepted and rejoiced in the idea that my blogposts will not outlive me and will in fact probably evaporate sooner rather than later.

What is the most downloaded item in your institutional repository and do you have any idea why it's so popular.

A past MVP was an undergraduate presentation about Burger King franchise expansions. Guessing popularity was from would-be franchisees or people Googling for their closest location.
