Apache OpenOffice 3.4 Blows Past 1M Downloads
Earlier today we hit the 1 million download mark for Apache OpenOffice
3.4. Congratulations to the AOO project team, and thanks to all the
users who downloaded this release over the past week, and especially
to those who took the time to write and offer suggestions or report
bugs.
You can read more about our strong first week, including more
statistics and press excerpts, in this short article:

We must also look at people who share pendrive, external hd and others.
Very happy for the mark 1M download! :)

Yes. and something we should all remember: This 1M mark was
achieved *without* enabling the automatic update check server.
Normally, this would be enabled for a new release, so all users of OOo
3.3.0 would get a pop-up notification that AOO 3.4 is ready for them
to download. with 100 million existing users, the upgrade traffic for
that would be huge. But that server is not enabled yet.
So everyone who downloaded AOO 3.4 did so on "word of mouth". They
heard about the AOO 3.4 update on Twitter or Facebook, or heard about
it from a friend, or saw some coverage in the press. The fact that we
got 1 million downloads based on that shows that we did great work on
the release promotion. So good work, everyone!

If only it were that simple. But it is a bit more complicated then
that, since the SF numbers are UTC and we released mid-day on the 8th,
but were also offering downloads on the 7th.
That URL is also not distinguishing downloads of language packs and
downloads of full installs. It munges stuff together. The one
million number is for downloads of full installs, not including the
other stuff.
You also need to account for the data feed being delay. For example,
it is currently 9 hours behind, but this varies.
Since the full installs are scattered through several directories, and
inter-mixed with hash files, the only way I've been able to get an
accurate count of the downloads is to use the SourceForge REST API to
query stats for each of the installs separately and then add them up.
This is easy to automate in the language of your choice.

Sure - it's public on the sourceforge page; it's also filter-able, so
you can easily see the download number for eg. the first week, by
searching from the release date until one week later:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/openofficeorg.mirror/files/stats/timeline?dates=2012-05-08+to+2012-05-14
Hope that helps,
Michael.

Without information as to your operating system and crash symptoms it is difficult to proffer any advice. Every person's computer is differently configured andstrage things can cause crashes. If you have an active virus scanner or backup system, when that touches OpenOffice files in use, there can be a crash. If you are interested in getting AOO 3.4 running on your computer, I suggest you post to the Forum at
http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum
where we will try to help.
