500,000 downloads milestone

14 posts in this topic

A few days ago we reached a staggering milestone: 500,000 project downloads. We were hoping to release Beta 3 with this milestone, but was a bit unreaslistc of us. While Crise is away, we're making backend changes to the server to handle the huge amount of traffic the update check and auto IP sends to the server. These changes will hopefully go live with Beta 3, and you should see an improvement in server performance. Anyway, we're half way to 1 million downloads, which would be a huge milestone for all of us.

Keep spreading the word about ApexDC++ and we should be there in no time. Thanks to our community for this achievement; The Ascendent Network that powers our support hub: TechGeeksOnline, our testers, support, subscribers and members.

I can't remember the download stats for PWDC, but they were nowhere near close to this. Glad to see we're doing well, shouldn't be too long until we get that one million milestone.

Download counts for PWDC++ are listed here http://www.apexdc.net/?id=history

"PeerWeb DC++ existed for 10 months - which received 12 release versions and over 50,000 downloads."

-- History Page

"over 50,000" - That means we've achieved up to ten times the downloads of PWDC already. :)

"Crise is my coder, I shall not want,

He maketh me downloads in bigger hubs;

He leadeth me to superseeded files;

He restoreth my code:

he leadeth me in the paths of development for Apex name's sake.

Yea, though I walk thru the valley of the shadow of Apex,

I will be enlightened, my client and my download speeds overwhelm me;

Thou preparest a beta before me in the presence of testers & subscribers:

thou anointest my client with extra features;

my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow Apex all the days of my life:

BUT, I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever."

Amen :)

That'll just have to be a suprise, which we wouldn't want to ruin yet. :thumbsup: I'm sure it'll be awesome though.

Obviously we prefer sites to directly link to our download page rather than them hosting the file. That way we can record stats and get some more hits. ;)
