  1. Downloads per user by r_glen · · Score: 5, Interesting

    So how many unique users does that translate to? Anyone with a reasonable estimate?

    On four different machines sitting in front of me, the counter is off by about 500 between the lowest and the highest. \

    While the counter is cute, I'd call it a bogometer. :)

    The large amount of downloads are great, but how many of those downloads simply were the same users downloading updates: v1.0, v1.0.1, v1.0.2 and v1.0.3? I'd be interested in knowing how many of those downloads correspond to unique users. After all, that's really what is most important.
