GuestToo,

Although I'm unfamilure with the P2P community, that number seems kinda low. Does that site have the ability to track all downloads or just the ones it helps to facilitate?

i could be reading the stats page wrong, but i think 141 is the correct number

these are the stats for torrents which are hosted by the linuxtracker.org tracker ... downloads using other trackers wouldn't show up in these stats, i don't think

some of the more popular distros like Knoppix have thousands of downloads, but i think Puppy is above average in popularity

for example, on the front page of http://linuxtracker.org/ it lists
(again, i may be reading this wrong ... i think "snatched" is the total number of downloads)

GeeXboX - 18
Ark - 1
BLAG - 37
Zenwalk - 144
Mandriva 2006 Beta 2 - 48
AUSTRUMI - 8
Klax 3.5 Alpha - 21
SUSE Linux 10.0 Beta1 - 2061
SimplyMEPIS 3.3.2.test02 - 48
Feather 0.7.5 - 7
Kurumin - 4
Damn Small Linux 1.4 - 4
Kubuntu - 86
VectorLinux 5.1 - 106
SLAX Standard Edition v 5.0.6 - 24

so (if i'm reading this right) Puppy seems to be more popular than many of the other distos

there are other torrents being hosted ... one i know of anyway, (i don't remember where, i thought maybe at http://www.solidz.com/torrents/)

i've made 4 Puppy torrents ... the most popular was pizzapup ... 472 downloaded ... i think i also uploaded the pizzapup torrent file to mininova.org, which i don't think i was supposed to do, according to the linuxtracker.org rules

as a matter of fact, i'm uploading a standard-mozilla-1.0.4 Puppy right now ... pic: http://tinypic.com/alt3tk.jpg
