I've created a very rough PHP page that grabs the raw download count figures from the maemo.org Download Statistics graph's JavaScript arrays and display them in tabular form. Now you can query the daily and monthly download counts of any Diablo and Fremantle package, including those that have only been submitted to Extras-Devel and/or Extras-Testing:

http://maemo.dadablog.net/AppStats.php

I'm not sure if I've interpreted the data correctly and hence I'm not sure if the figures are accurate or not. Please use this page at your own risk

Awesome job! Though I assume this is much inflated compared to user count because everyone downloads each update and they (hopefully) re-download after upgrading to PR1.2 or PR1.3. I guess these would show up as spikes in those weeks.

Also: I suggest you have a look at flot (with jquery) if you are looking to graph this stuff on the fly.

Yes, those figures are raw download counts only.
Thanks for recommending flot. I will look at it.

Raw download counts?!? extkbd announce thread is visited roughly 8000 times and have about 150 posts, half made by me. It is absolutely impossible the application to be downloaded 30000 times. Either your query into the db is wrong, or db itself contains garbage.

Here is the download stats graph of extkdb package provided by maemo.org, which is somewhat consistent with my page:

http://maemo.org/download-stats2/ind...tkbd&os=Maemo5

and I'm not sure why the count of individual packages may not be realistic / accurate.

I don't work for Nokia and I am neither member of the Maemo.org maintenance team nor the Maemo Council member. I'm just an ordinary user and casual developer. I was just trying to present the figures that are publicly available in a different way....if those figures are not correct, I'm not the one to blame at...

Again, use this page AT YOUR OWN RISK

cuteTube has circa 118K downloads. BS or not, I'm putting it on my CV.

Thanks for your great work.

You saying it is too high or too low? If too high, keep in mind not everyone comes to t.m.o and a lot that do usually just lurk.

If it is too low, then I might be in the same boat. Excitedly I looked for Dialcentrals download count to see it totalling at 45K. Disappointed that a young whippersnapper like qgvdial might be outdoing me, I checked some of my other apps and their download counts were in the expected range. I then checked the download page which claims it at 151K.

Just some points to consider when looking at both this data and the downloads page data.

http://maemo.dadablog.net/AppStats.p...l&os=fremantle
http://maemo.org/downloads/product/Maemo5/dialcentral/#

Something else that ties into download counts is updates. Release a lot of updates then you get a higher count.

The main thing I get out of looking at the download statistics is sadness for how many people run software out of extras-devel.

It pretty much correlates with amout of users who come here on raving how slow and bad their N900 is
