Bug Description
I would like to add an Ubuntu download counter to the home page of SpreadUbuntu similar to the one that SpreadFirefox has.
I know we would need some special collection, since it wouldn't be a simple log. We could talk to Newz about getting that information from the mirrors, then using some more retrieval to add the stats from the torrent tracker.

I have spoken with Matthew (newz2000) about this earlier, but it seems that
Canonical does not actually come out with download statistics for Ubuntu.
I would though like to try to get this, or at least get some pin point of
the number of users in the world (for instance based on the Linux Counter
and the Ubuntu prevalence as the distro of use in their registered
statistics).
Of course having a tracker the Mozilla style would e the bomb, but I would
honestly be happy with whatever we can get.
I am going to write to the Web Presence team and hear their thoughts.
