Comment 6 for bug 408598

The log now says that we've reached 2.4 million downloads in 9 days.

By comparison, FF 3.5 has been downloaded on average 2.6 million times a day since june 30th.

So, according to my log, Ubuntu receives 10% of the number of downloads Firefox gets per day. (223,000 vs 2,600,000)

This seems possible to me, except that this is ONLY torrent downloads.
What portion of users download Ubuntu using a torrent? 10%? If that guess were true, Ubuntu would be just as popular as Firefox 3.5, and I kind of doubt that, but it is possible.

On the other hand, these numbers are an accumulation of all of the different Ubuntu derivatives, and all of each of their versions, old and alpha.

Also, the csv is really interesting if you import it to open office, and do the derivative (current cell minus previous cell), then graph it on a line graph.

This is really difficult, I cannot figure out if this method is accurate or not.
Does anyone have any thoughts on its accuracy?
