FYI I have a freeware app that generates 2 to 3,000 downloads a year
(which doesn't mean these are actual new users) and the MacPad
traffic for it is about 1 MB a month.
(The prefs allow for a daily check or no checking.)

Yeah, that is basic math. That is a bandwidth of 120 MB per month
per 1000 apps outside and assuming that your app qualifies for very
curious customers checking for a new version every day. If they do
it once a week the bandwidth is 17 MB per 1000 apps and month.
So lets say you will sell 1 million applications, that will result
in a terrifying bandwidth of 17 GB per month. On the other side:
aren't you quite rich after selling 1 million copies?

Hi,
But how often and how many download sites and 'News sites' check the
file? As I know the download sites is very hard working to be the
first and best... Are they scanning 20 times a day? or 100 times a
day?? ...
Selling 1 million copies, if I sell 1 million copies, how many
'Trial apps' checking my file? 10 million! So then it being red
digits in the book...
