Thread: win32 binary downloads
The binary version of the win32 port is now being downloaded 2000 times/week average (up from 1000/week a month ago). This is with no press release and a well-hidden download page. Someone should contact Noah and send him plans for another ark :) Merlin

Are we talking about 1000 different people each week, or just one very enthusiastic tester. -- Richard Huxton Archonet Ltd

I don't, but I refuse to believe that there are people that get a kick out of downloading the same piece of software all day (the package is updated nightly) :) Merlin

I have the following numbers: 3973 downloads in 17 days = 234 downloads/day 1806 unique IPs in 17 days = 106 unique IPs/day Giving the ratio of 2.2 download/IP. I see a bunch of large ISP proxies fairly high up on the list, so the truth is somewhere in between. (log goes back only 17 days on this machine) //Magnus
