How would you get this? I would guess most people using Octave now
are using binary distributions (various Linux, OS/X, and Cygwin
distributions). There are many mirrors and ways to get these
packages, so how would you count them all?
Also, do you count each download as a user? Maybe one download is
used by tens or hundreds. Maybe the package is installed but never
used. Maybe someone downloads just to look at the sources.
I no longer keep the log files at ftp.octave.org now since I don't
think that whatever number I would get from looking at the logs would
mean much anyway.
