20 Million Downloads of JBoss Love

February 13th, 2008

JBoss reached a nice milestone in time for JBoss World. At the keynote today, Craig Muzilla, the co-GM of JBoss Division, let us know that we’ve seen over 20,000,000 downloads, now. That breaks down to about 10 million before the acquisition (5 years), and about 10 million since then (20 months).

If this were a constant stream of downloads, that’d be over 8000/day, for over 6 and a half years. Over 300 and hour, or 5 a second.

But it wasn’t linear. Since the acquisition, it’s been more like 16.5k downloads a day, across our product lines.

    Would you mind clarifying the # of downloads? If I go to the JBoss SourceForge downloads site, I see less than 200K d/l per month for all artifacts (178K in Jan08, less than 95K for the AppServer). Is there another source of d/ls? Stats at SourceForge are wrong?

    Thanks, – eduard/o

    @Eduardo

    I apologize for the lack of clarity. The 20,000,000 number is for all of JBoss projects, not just AS. This would include Mobicents, JGroups, RichFaces. Our entire ecosystem of publicly/freely downloadable stuff.

    Thanks, Bob. I thought most of those were already included in the “JBoss.ORG” stats from SourceForge; that’s why I was mentionng the upper bound of 200K d/l/month. Feel free to send me other pointers, I’m intersted, but, in any case, I’ll try to do ‘apples-to-apples’ comparisons if/when I talk about this. – eduard/o
