I was once also required to do this kind of thing but it was not connected to the Sword Project. It was my contention that for various reasons I could not guarantee an exact number. In discussions about the problem I came to the conclusion that it did not matter if I used tea leaves to produce a number as long as it wasn't fraud and represented a good faith claim that the number was representative of the activity. In the end I used a statistical approach to analyzing the logs to produce a number I believed was good, if not 100% accurate. Also I would not report the number by simply saying there were X downloads. I would report something like, based on the fallowing sever log data and making the fallowing assumptions, blah, blah, there were X downloads. That may not be good enough for your situation but it was in my case.
