For downloads from Maven Central, it is easy to get status, e.g.,: http://www.sonatype.com/people/2010/12/now-available-central-download-statistics-for-oss-projects/ But it would be harder to get accurate stats for download from Apache's mirrors. Maybe you could track how many people click our download link in this project's website. But it would be hard to tell whether the user in fact did complete a download. But maybe we don't care about that. Also, see this page: http://people.apache.org/~vgritsenko/stats/projects/ant.html But I'm not sure if that is based on mirror downloads as well. -Rob > -- > -Devin >
