More than 3 billion downloads!

We are pleased to announce that Mininova reached the milestone of 3 billion (3.000.000.000) torrent downloads today! In January this year, Mininova reached 1 billion downloads and in June 2 billion downloads. This means we probably won't reach the 4 billion downloads before the end of this year (as we hoped), but more likely in 4 or 5 months from now. The news-site TorrentFreak has more detailed info. To avoid some confusion: we're counting the number of times a .torrent file is downloaded from our website, not how often the data described in the .torrent file is completely downloaded by a peer. We also reached new heights in the Alexa statistics, Mininova currently ranks as one of the 60 biggest websites in the world. To cope with this growth, we added some server-power the past weeks. Tomorrow another new server will be installed. More statistics of our servers can be found on the Mininova graphs page. This all is great news, which wouldn't have happened without the support of you (the users) and our moderating team. Thanks a lot! There's some more great news coming up the next couple of days, so please stay tuned :)
