First off, I'd like to know where you got that 2,000 number. Closest I
could find was 456 on TPB, and I'm guessing that's 456 people that have
downloaded the torrent. Not necessarily 456 that have completely
downloaded the book.
I didn't post that figure, but it doesn't matter if the actual numbers
are 2000 or just 2, it doesn't change a thing.
I posted the figure 2,000. There are two listings on that site for my
book, "PHP Solutions". One has been downloaded 457 times. The other
has been downloaded 1,626 times. Although I'm delighted that my book
has proved so popular, I would be even more delighted to get some
financial reward for my efforts.
Fortunately, a lot of honest people have bought legal copies, but
certainly not enough to put me in the fat-cat league. :(

Even though there has been 2,000 "downloads" (very likely of the small
torrent file), I don't think you've gotten 2,000 complete downloads of
the book. On the 456 downloads, for instance, I noticed only 11
"seeders". You aren't really going to be able to download that fast (if
you are at all) by sipping from 11 sources. And books have not been the
fastest of all downloads.
