Alone my Linux rpm package of GHC 4.04 was already
donwloaded 156 times from my ftp server (note that this is
only useful for people having a glibc 2.0/1 rpm-based Linux
system installed) - the package is on the server since 31
July. I have no idea how any people downloaded GHC 4.02,
because I don't have the logfiles anymore - but I remember
that the majority of ftp traffic over my machine was for
GHC.
Cheers,
Manuel
PS: Non-GHC users should probably know that the above
mentioned package is hyperlinked from the "official" GHC
page - I doubt that it would get as many hits otherwise.
