Ah, interesting coincidence! So maybe the statistics are not processed since 
then, anyway.

Right on the download server (download.services.openoffice.org). 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.

There was a lot of interest in download numbers in the past. I don't know if 
this is still the case. But if so, I'm happy to help.
