I found that the web logs counted requests and bytes, but not necessarily completed downloads (didn't account for aborted downloads), and had to do it over using downloaded byte counts and lookups to file sizes.  The * below was very exaggerated at over 8000 hits, most others were exaggerated approx 2x.

Thanks for the stats - very interesting. Hopefully the numbers support
the effort you put into building mac packages. I wonder how linux
fares against that. Alex Mandel was working on ubuntu download stats
once - I see if I can find the link to get them. Its a pity that the
useage of QGIS is so skewed towards windows, but hopefully that will
change over time to a more even spread.
