Ok, thanks, I bcc'd this your way. https://metrics.torproject.org/users.html?graph=direct-users&start=2013-08-01&end=2013-08-31 https://metrics.torproject.org/network.html?graph=dirbytes&start=2013-08-01&end=2013-08-31#dirbytes We didn't see the breakout till the 19th. Which is the week after 'shipping started on the 10th with most downloads during the first week'. Depending upon the number of users adopting PirateBrowser and turning into daily running users, it seems we would have seen at least some permanent bump before the 19th, but we don't. And even if 100% of the quoted downloads cut spontaneously over to full time users a week later, that's only half our current 1M growth. Though the '550000 installs' may only count webinstalls, not other sources. And by then user's copy could have come from anywhere, including the two obvious torrents [1]. Currently, the torrent cloud for v0.6b has around 3.0-5.5k seeds depending on the tracker. I didn't check ver0.5b. If the PirateBrowser folks somehow track and can forward a 'currently online' count that would be helpful to subtract from Tor's apparent 1M new continuous users. [1] v0.5b on tpb and v0.6b on piratebrowser.com. The various release timestamps all range from from 03:00 to 14:00 Aug 10. -- tor-talk mailing list - [email protected] To unsusbscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
