That's what I thought. Even monitoring a single download mirror could be enough, if it's not an obscure and unpopular one. At least gathered data would be statistically *relevant*, even though not accurate. We can think of a single mirror as a good approximation of the whole community, excluding i18n/l10n packages, which are highly dependendt on the physical location of the mirror itself. Corrado
