I dont know the answer to your question, but I think that you forgot
something....most linux distributions have postgresql included.....so,
(I dont know the number) some people that use it, didnt download from
postgresql site or mirrors...

Hello,
My name is Ilir Gashi and I am a PhD student at the Centre for
Software Reliability, City University, London, UK. I was wondering if
anyone can help me with the following question:
- Are the numbers of downloads of a particular release of the
PostgreSQL server recorded anywhere centrally, and if (at least
approximatly) these numbers are known, can they be shared?
We are interested on doing some research on how much the classical
Software Reliability Growth models can be used for Reliability
predictions of a server based on the bug reports for that server and
the download rates. This work would form some part of my PhD thesis
and, since we are an academic insitution, all the work and findings
would be made available freely.
Appologies if I have posted this question on the wrong list, in which
case I would be very grateful for suggestions on where I should then
post this question.
Thanks in advance,
Best regards,
Ilir
P.S. Just to clarify, we are purely interested on the numbers, not the
identities of the 'downloaders'.
