Sure, I have the logs of download.openSUSE.org -- but I don't really trust 
those statistics, because they are most likely inaccurate. The only way to 
get hard facts would be to ask *all* SUSE / openSUSE mirrors to come up 
with their logs + add the BT stats... we used some heuristics and YOU 
stats to "count" the number of running / installed SUSE Linux'es, but even 
those numbers might be quite inexact ;)

Anyway, do you really think we need those kind of numbers (presumably 
live?) to impress people? IMHO having something like... "downloaded more 
than <somebignumber>" would be sufficient.
