derby download numbers

[Rick Hillegas <Ri...@Sun.COM>]

The download numbers here are very impressive: 
http://people.apache.org/~vgritsenko/stats/projects/derby.html According 
to those numbers, more than 120K copies of Derby are downloaded per 
month. Is there any reason to suspect that those numbers are too big? 
For instance, does that web page track the download of something other 
than Derby distributions from our download pages?

Thanks,
-Rick

I think it does. I believe it counts the number of times a non-HTML
file (like, e.g. one of the PDF docs) is served from db.apache.org.
The exact number of downloads of the Derby distributions can't be
determined exactly due to the mirror distribution system. Check with
Vadim to confirm.
