http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=12740More like 2000 (you should look at the QuantLib 0.8.1 packages and add
up .tar.gz and .zip archives.)

http://sourceforge.net/project/stats/detail.php?group_id=12740&ugn=quantlib&type=prdownloadI wouldn't trust this one a bit.

An accurate estimate is difficult to obtain, even assuming that the
2000-downloads figure is accurate. Were I to mention a figure, I'd
choose the number of subscribers to the mailing list: according to
<
http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=12740>, that would be around 900
for the users' list and 350 for the developers' list.
Later,
