I agree that this is excellent news.  There are some things which might
help us further market OOo.

1) how can we also count the downloads from RPM and APT repositories
which is where most of our linux users are going to be getting OOo?

2) I might have missed the explanation of Leif's question earlier: are
all of the 3 million successful downloads or does the sum also include
interrupted attempts?  (HTTP is rather lame for large file transfer.)

3) How about the torrents?

 This is a tribute not only to the developers who have created this great
 product, but to the tens of thousands of people in the community who have
 tested it, translated it, supported it, and told the world about it.

 A week of three million downloads - what a great start to the year of
 three!

 p.s. further data on my blog http://www.mealldubh.org

Then of course, there's the Bit Torrent downloads, and people like me who go 
directly to a mirror (my ISP has a mirror of OO.o that is only accessible by 
their users) 3 million is probably conservative.

Just would like to know when OpenOffice 3.0 will be available for MAC (Mac 
Intel and Power-PC).
  
The Intel version is available since last Monday, almost on every 
mirror. If you look at the static page that has been created when the 
server was bombarded with download requests, they don't reflect the 
actual situation. If you access the web site (www.openoffice.org) with a 
Mac and choose I want to download OOo, it will detect your platform 
and download the MacOS X Aqua version in US English. If you need another 
language, you have to access the mirrors system (link on the download 
page) and find the right linguistic version in the stable and then 
3.0.0 directories.

 1) how can we also count the downloads from RPM and APT repositories
 which is where most of our linux users are going to be getting OOo?

Maybe we need some sort of mirrors project to pull these stats together
for all open-source projects ... Alternatively some distros now ask users
to opt into monitoring programs which monitor what software is actually
being used and 'call home' the statistics.

 2) I might have missed the explanation of Leif's question earlier: are
 all of the 3 million successful downloads or does the sum also include
 interrupted attempts?  (HTTP is rather lame for large file transfer.)

My understanding is that the Bouncer logs record when users are 'handed
off' to a mirror. They have no visibility whether the download was
completed / interrupted / bookmarked and repeated directly later.

 3) How about the torrents?

Indeed. All of these factors (and others) mean that the Bouncer figures
severely underestimate our total downloads. On the other hand, they are
completely objective, and are quite easy to filter for rogue entries.
