Detailed Download Data - Initial Post
on Wed, 05/02/2007 - 18:12StatsWe've been publishing a Firefox Download Feed for almost 2 years now, and many folks have mashed it up into some really cool ticking counters, visualizations, etc. We now have a bunch more data that we're trying to get out to the community. To start, we're going to augment the download feed. We haven't yet figured out how to do this, but to get started I'm posting a number of files with the most current and detailed data we have on Firefox downloads.
All of this data has been collected and is being shared under the terms of the Mozilla Privacy Policy and we're licensing this data for use by anyone under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 License. There is no personally-identifiable information contained in this data set.
Again, we're looking into how to best augment the existing download feed or add others. And we're super open to ideas on how to analyze, interpret and display this data in useful ways.
The following data files are now available:
- Firefox20Downloads.csv
total number of daily downloads of Firefox 2.0.0.x, excluding updates - Firefox20DownloadsByBrowser.csv
total number of daily downloads of Firefox 2.0, broken down by the useragent used to download. this gives us a view as to who is downloading from IE (potentially a new user to Firefox) vs. other browsers - Firefox20DownloadsByLocale.csv
total number of daily downloads of Firefox 2.0, broken down by the top locales (i.e. en-US, ja, fr, etc.) this gives us some indication of the uptake by geography although note that this only reflects language and many countries have large multilingual populations - Firefox20DownloadsByPlatform.csv
total number of daily downlaods of Firefox 2.0, broken down by platform (i.e. windows, mac, or linux)
I've posted the latest version of these files to: http://people.mozilla.com/~cbeard/downloads/.
Please do take a look, poke around, mock up some ideas and post your thoughts.
