I just checked in a new script (platform.py) that queries the
SourceForge REST API to get a platform breakdown for downloads.
For example, looking at 3.4.1 downloads from November 1st until today, we see:
Windows: 1615741 (87.55%)
Macintosh: 176417 (9.56%)
Linux: 27512 (1.49%)
Android: 7193 (0.39%)
Solaris: 45 (0.00%)
BSD: 14 (0.00%)
Unknown: 18666 (1.01%)
Note: these are the counts for the platform doing the download, not
the platform of the download. So if I download the Windows binaries
from a Linux machine I would be listed as Linux here.
Unexpected here is the 7193 downloads from Android. Any ideas on what
that signifies?
The platform.py scripts seems to get the download stats indexed by the
browser OS, not by the target OS our application is intended to run on.
So if someone downloads the Mac version on his Android smartphone this
gets counted as an Android download.
