169,788 distinct IP addresses have asked for updates since 04-Mar-2005
from mirror.centos.org

That doesn't include anyone who does their updates from one of the
external public mirrors (current 45 listed).

Hi,

I'm glad, nobody started to count directly, like
 "one" (me)
:-)
Apart from that I don't think, it's a good measure to count the IP 
addresses "since". A better measure might be to release _one_ update
and
to count, how many guys download that update within say two weeks, 
morover to ask the mirror guys to give away their access data for this 
update.
The best way might be to implant an easter egg, which connects to a kind 
of a counter server, but this might lead to many discussions...
