Downloads are very hard to measure because too many things are grabbing
everything from mirrors for different reasons. [Plus various people seem to
think manipulating the stats for their particular spin on the number of
downloads will make it more popular (I am looking at the several dozen ips
which were downloading  the same spin every ten minutes). The countme stats
for 'running' systems
https://data-analysis.fedoraproject.org/csv-reports/countme/ can probably
give you the data on number of active systems.
