Hi Aere,

Indeed there is but these will not be accurate. The same user/IP could 
download the same image/ISO many times and that will not be accurate at 
all. There must be a unique way to count that and AFAIK, as of today, 
there is no such tool/thing IIRC.

If we are looking for an estimated number, this is so easy. If we need 
something accurate or close to that, it is different story. I have done 
my very best for the last 3-4 years asking almost everyone - especially 
Lubuntu Community - to find a way to find accurate statistic, NONE 
managed as of today to propose anything that is close to accurate. If 
you guys find it, kindly let me know as I have been looking for that for 
several years :)

Thanks!
