Do I understand correctly? 900 millions divide by («400+»«UnKnown value») = 2 millions at average by each application. And divide by tens of versions, to calculate the count of users…
As to me and my Internet provider, I need to reconnect and resume downloading many-many times for almost each(!) of my 405 distribuives, that is significantly increase counter. I thank for help in automatic downloading (and automatic hash checking) to beatiful utility of command line «cURL».☺

I started with just 1 app back in the day. So lots of the apps have only been around a few years. There are lots of apps with only a single version. And there are lots of apps that only have a few thousand downloads.

If you have issues with disconnects due to your poor internet access, please post in the support forums.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Congratulations! We are waiting for a round number - 1bn! All the best and much success in further work!
