2,000,133 ScreenCastsOnline Downloads!

Yup, On checking my Libsyn stats this morning, we've clicked over the 2 million downloads.
This figure is based on the LES - "The LibSyn Estimated Subscribers is an algorithmically derived number that for most users will represent the actual number of unique downloads." The total number of requests is actually 3,666,039 but I'm happy to go with the more accurate 2,000,133.
For information, between 21,000 and 25,000 ScreenCastsOnline tutorials are downloaded every week of which a significant part are the back episodes, not just this weeks show.
An in case you're wondering why ScreenCastsOnline doesn't often appear in the Libsyn top 20, I figure it's due to the fact that each weekly show is in five (yes five!) different versions and the Libsyn top 20 isn't able to agregate multiple versions of the same show.
Thanks to all the Extra! members and the subscribers to the free shows who keep ScreenCastsOnline going by downloading the shows.

Congratulations, Don! Always fun to see that people enjoy one's work. Let's hope you'll still be doing screencasts to hit 4 million. Oh, and thanks for doing that Freeway screencast. I wouldn't mind having another one, more in-depth, on the subject. Unless iWeb 2 add anything good, I might be looking into getting it.
[...] Don promises 1 new episode every week, the content is typically about Mac software or related websites. Episodes appear to be 30 minutes long. Apparently 21-25k screencasts are downloaded weekly (March 2007) - this is about 3* our own (according to our mostPopular page). [...]
