20,000 Downloads

Sweet mother of God!

The FF client has had 20,000 downloads!

If that is not a success, I do not know what is!

To put things in perspective a bit, the much anticipated Insurgency beta has been out for 2 months and has had 35,000 downloads. We have gotten nearly half that amount in six days. Freakin' sweet!

greenday5494 · 09-18-2007, 04:01 AM

like i said.... FF FTW!!

Desyphur · 09-18-2007, 04:45 AM

Not counting the Torrent downloads and the other download links too.

09-18-2007, 04:46 AM

I know most people in Australia probably used the Internode mirror (Because it would be fastest) so that's probably atleast 500 right there.

Desyphur · 09-18-2007, 05:32 AM

All i all, we BEAT Ins.

51,864 DOWNLOADS!

CONGRATULATIONS DEV TEAM! YOU MADE A HUGE SUCCESS!

Source for that number please?

Desyphur · 09-18-2007, 05:34 AM

I added up all of the download links on the First page.

Some of them didn't list a number of DL's.

So there's more o,o

And on a side note, I made the 72,666th post in general.

Ihmhi · 09-18-2007, 05:43 AM

Oh okay. Well then, awesome! Ha ha!

Desyphur · 09-18-2007, 05:44 AM

I know, way more than Ins. and more than 50,000...and it's been out what? 6 days?

looks like 75,000 downloads to me. hype for insurgency was quite a lot, and then it crashed and burned...emphasis on the crashed.

Hoops, I was looking at the Filefront link for Insurgency.

That said, Filefront actually counts completed downloads, not just clicks on the link like Fileplanet does. /=

I didnt dl from fileplanet like I bet alot of people didn't jolt ftw

arsenal · 09-18-2007, 07:44 AM

you've got it wrong, fileplanet does track completed downloads, filefront tracks download attempts. also insurgency had a bunch of other mirrors after the first day too. ff's launch was a bit lower key than insurgency but a much more solid first release.

Beavis · 09-18-2007, 10:44 AM

If those 20,000 stick around or grow will be the real challenge, especially for the long term. I'll still be onboard though.

GenghisTron · 09-18-2007, 05:11 PM

That's impressive.

Good job guys

Desyphur · 09-18-2007, 05:32 PM

Well that's still 75,000 over all the time Ins has been out. FF has been out for 6 days

Stephen · 09-18-2007, 05:44 PM

That's awesome considering insurgency got pimped on steam too.

Gwarsbane · 09-18-2007, 05:51 PM

Congrats on the number of downloads. And I understand why its getting so many downloads its because of good word of mouth.

It reminds many people of TFC in the way things are played, which is a good thing cause many people have fond memories of TFC.

Its also remarkably bug free for a first release. There are not a large number of bugs, and very few show stoppers.

As I mentioned at first its getting very good word of mouth. I myself have mentioned it on a bunch of different websites and really can't say enough good things about it.

There was also a large number of mirrors to download from and most of them were pretty fast for such a large file.

Sabre · 09-18-2007, 06:32 PM

Someone do the math for me 75,000 downloads yet only a couple of hundred online at any one time... what are people doing with it!?
