UPDATE: After exactly 3 days, we are near 3.5Million
As you should know now, VLC 1.0.0 was out 61 hours ago (2 and a half day ago).
In order to not kill the servers, the download counting was deactivated. After reactivation and recounting, VLC 1.0.0 has been downloaded more than 3 million times in less than 3 days.
The VideoLAN website has seen more than 1,5 million unique visitors (and 0 advertisement) and around as many have downloaded through external websites directly linking to our repository.
On the first 48 hours, the counting was around 2,3 million.
Of course, this is a bit less than Mozilla Firefox, but still those are impressive numbers.
