Five million software downloads

Written by Petteri Pyyny @ 11 Sep 2002 3:36 User comments (1)

Just one of these short updates. Our software download counters show now that we've served over 5,000,000 software downloads during the last three and a half years.
The number of downloads per day is increasing nicely, this time it took only few days over two months to get from four million to five million -- this translates into a fact that we serve one software download every five seconds or so.

Anyway, once again, I must thank you, our loyal users. You've made this possible and I really hope to see you again in the future as well.

P.S. Not a good day to even consider celebrating, as the hearts of the world are in the events of September, 2001. But this is not the right place, site or forum to discuss about that.

WOW!! Five million downloads. Hard enough to believe but I guess "Theres a sucker born every second" and a lot of them are familiar with dvd/mp3 etc... Now that dvd players and cd writers come standard with new pc's you could be looking at a massive increase over the next three years. congrats!!
