GPS Software Download Statistics

Over 161 people download GPSS each day (based on February 2008) with the rate doubling every two years (was about 76 in February 2006). The actual figures may be higher than this because we only measure downloads from one of the mirror sites. Less than 3% of those who download GPSS, take advantage of free registration, using the Quiz on the download page. If numbers increased, we might make the Quiz more difficult :-)

The pattern of people downloading GPSS from the website has not changed significantly since we started collecting detailed statistics in early 2005. i.e. the distribution of countries reflected in this snapshot below: maybe 16% from USA, 9% from UK, 3% from places like Germany, Australia, Holland, Canada, etc, trailing off to far fewer in places like Brunei, Belarus, Barbados, Bahamas, etc.

The distribution of downloads by country is reflected in the Quiz forms and emails that we receive.
