I'm sure most of you know about Vadim's Apache stats project for
tracking download statistics for the verious Apache projects:

A fun little project but exceedingly difficult (not to mention time
consuming) for Vadim to dig into the details of each project in order
to present project stats with finer details.
Just out of curiosity, I did some Ruby hacking to modify Vadim's
apache log mining script to filter out Geronimo project data with
finer resolution. Here are the results:

BTW, if I understand what you are counting, then these statistics only
represent some fraction of the actual downloads (i.e. the downloads
from http://www.apache.org/dist/geronimo/
<http://www.apache.org/dist/geronimo/2.1.3/geronimo-tomcat6-javaee5-2.1.3-bin.zip> )
Downloads from the various Apache mirrors would not be counted...
Wondering if hits to the mirroring system
(e.g. http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/geronimo/ ) would yield a
more accurate statistic.

These stats include downloads redirected to the mirrors. I do count
the redirects for download artifacts by closer.cgi. As expected, I
have no way to determine if a redirect was successful... very possible
some fractions of hits are duplicates (i.e., a mirror failed and the
client came back for another mirror).
