download count for 0.18.4 is at 40166, I doubt you're gonna get a number more meaningfull, AFAIK freecad doesn't track its users
Re: Amount of CAd users
The download count does not include the versions installed from the default distributions e.g. on Ubuntu.adrianinsaval wrote: ↑Thu Dec 26, 2019 3:17 pmdownload count for 0.18.4 is at 40166, I doubt you're gonna get a number more meaningfull, AFAIK freecad doesn't track its users

UPDATE
At the moment I see a huge increment of 0.19 downloads:
Wow!
Also, the number of downloads of the weekly-builds for version 0.20 shoult be taken in consideration (I'm a one of them).
I don't know if the two set of users overlaps at 100%.

Re: Amount of CAd users
Yes but, you are still underestimating the numbers a lot because you are not counting the majority of Linux users who get distro native packages from distros, our ppa, etc.
And there is also those who download the code, usually via git, and compile there own.
Of course many of us get more than one version. I had the distro FreeCAD, then changed to the two versions from our Ubuntu ppa, and I also compile some more version from source. All on the same computer running Kubuntu Linux.

Re: Amount of CAd users
Yeah, you're right.
In any case where speaking about a massive number of users.
It would be nice if also a small fraction would translate in donations...

installer-2 is thankfully getting a lot more downloads than -1 (34568 -> 54634, +20K in the same period) but wouldn't it be better to remove installer-1 from the release page? IIRC -2 added some command that was missing due to an incorrect build command.
Also, where the portable downloads updated with that new build or are they the previous one?
Re: Amount of CAd users
On a worldwide scale, I imagine there are ALOT of users.
