Ah, interesting coincidence! So maybe the statistics are not processed since then, anyway. >> I suppose that we don't mind to continue couting :-) and the underlying data >> generation is fixed now.

Once a day, a script analyzes the logs and prunes it from requests that occur repeatedly (download accelerators). It is maintained at http://svn.mirrorbrain.org/svn/mod_stats/trunk/tools/. The numbers can be requested in this form: http://download.services.openoffice.org/stats/csv/20120229.csv or http://download.services.openoffice.org/stats/csv/201202.csv monthly. The best time to pull the data is at 1 a.m. GMT+1. >> I know there's a daily cronjob which pulls the download counts in CSV format >> from download.services.openoffice.org, but I am not sure who installed that >> and/or who has access to the web server where the stats are hosted. > > I bet this is long gone.
