Ten million software downloads

Written by Petteri Pyyny @ 02 May 2003 3:14 User comments (5)

Time to announce one of those "magic numbers" again. Jsut checked our software download counters and they indicate that we served our 10,000,000th software download yesterday. The counter includes all software downloads ever made from our site, during the four years that we've existed.
To put this into perspective, it was 7 months and 3 weeks ago (in September, 2002), when we announced that we had served 5M software downloads. So, we're soon getting to a point where we serve over million software downloads every single month :-)

Anyway, I just wanted to thank you, our users, for making this possible.

Roomba Plus 505 Combo review - Surprisingly good and relatively affordable robot vacuum Roomba Plus 505 Combo review - Surprisingly good and relatively affordable robot vacuum
In our review, we go through the pros and cons of the obstacle-avoiding, mopping Roomba 505 Combo+ robot vacuum. During a long test period, the robot's cleaning performance was pleasing, but it was far from perfect.
Review: Roborock Saros Z70 - robot vacuum with an arm Review: Roborock Saros Z70 - robot vacuum with an arm
In out in-depth review of Roborock Saros Z70 we put the robot vacuum through a 3 month test period, where we observed its work in normal home. The sci-fi -like arm of Z70 was a little bit disappointing, due its limited functionality.
Roborock Saros 10 review - Great, but not perfect Roborock Saros 10 review - Great, but not perfect
We tested Roborock Saros 10 robot vacuum for more than two months in order to see whether it is really worth its hefty price tag. The mopping, self-emptying Saros 10 was mostly great, even perfect. But its object avoidance was bit disappointing.
