Thunderbird Statistics
I contacted Asbjørn Sloth Tønnesen a while back to persuade him to create a Thunderbird Statistics site similar to the one he did for Firefox. He has graciously done us a great favour by adapting the Firefox Statistics site to Thunderbird.
Below shows a graph of Thunderbird downloads and there are even more great statistics over at his site, such as the countdown script. At the time of this blog post's writing, Thunderbird is poised to hit 36 million downloads on Saturday, 18 Nov 2006 10.46:08 UTC (subject to changes).

Do u collect the hits from all servers/mirrors?
If I check the download sources from here:
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/thunderbird/all.html
I got so many different servers...

Silly questions?
Does this include the downloads of the nightly builds or is it just the Official releases?

"These download counts do not include downloads using software updates and downloads from third-party websites"
"It should be noted that a download count is not a user count, as a single download can be installed over many machines, or one person can download the software multiple times."
Quoted from Wikipedia's article on Firefox. This should apply to Thunderbird as well.

Maybe https://addons.mozilla.org/thunderbird/562/ could be extended to see how viral the use of Thunderbird is..
PS: I almost misidentified your site as a spamblog kind of thing, as i had to scroll down before seeing some actual content.
