Detailed Download Data - Update May 17, 2007

The detailed download data has been updated up to May 16, 2007. We've also corrected some minor errors that prevented access to the By Locale file.

Background: We'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.

Please do take a look, poke around, mock up some ideas and post your thoughts.

Summary Tables: We've posted the latest version of these files to: http://people.mozilla.com/~cbeard/downloads/.

All languages please

Could you please supply data for all locales?  We release Afrikaans with 2.0.0.4 and want to be able to track the uptake specifically for that language as we want to see what the impact of our press activity has on the downloads.

Consistant growth

What I find most interesting in the download graph is that with each major release we seem to jump up a level which seems to indicate that with each major release we gain a daily increase of about 100 000 downloads.

It would be interesting to see this adjusted to remove the weekend anomolies, or at least to get a 7 day moving average to smooth out the graph.

But overall its encouraging to see that we continue to gain traction.
