I just had to gather stats on how many utility downloads I have so I thought I would share. Sadly I don’t have stats going all the way back to 2001. In March 2007 I changed ISPs. When I did so, I neglected to take the data portion of the downloads with me so lost the stats from October 2004 – March 2007. I lost the stats from 2001 to October 2004 when I set up a new download system AND switched ISPs. The stats from Oct 2004 to July 2006 are at this post – http://blog.joeware.net/2006/07/21/469/
So the stats from March 2007 to now…
The totals for all thirty nine tools on the website as of today since March 2007 is 456,684 downloads. The top five tools in terms of downloads are:
· AdFind – 99167 downloads
· OldCmp – 63392 downloads
· CPAU – 50249 downloads
· AdMod – 20757 downloads
· SIDToName – 19382 downloads
Congrats joe!! Just shows how popular your tools are and how much they help the community.
I would have thought that admod would have had more downloads.
If you only got .99 for every download like iTunes 🙂
Thanks for the tools

I use getuserinfo and unlock a lot. adfind + admod are in the hall of fame for sure. What can you say ? They’re the best! 🙂
Congrats, thats a pretty impressive number for just the last 4 years 🙂 I know I’ve used several of your tools in the past and they have been very handy!
The fact that you give them away for free inspired me to write some of my own tools and make them free as well – I’m currently working on a GUI app that is similar to your command line OldCmp application but with a few extra features 🙂 I got sick of seeing software companies charging stupid amounts for applications that do this relatively simple job, so I figured I would write my own and make it free for anyone to use. If you get chance to take a look at it I’ve got a BETA version available for public download at the moment on my blog (here: http://cjwdev.wordpress.com/2010/08/11/ad-tidy-beta-released) and would love to hear any feedback (good or bad) that you can give.
Thanks and keep up the great work

I made a modest donation to you because of the sheer amount of time that you’ve saved me since I discovered ADFIND/OLDCMP/LG, etc about 4 years ago. I’ve been involved in a huge number of migrations, and it’s really surprising that the number of “experienced migration experts” that have never heard of it.
Thanks a million…but here’s $10 🙂
