Can anyone give an estimate of how many FPC users there are now, worldwide? I'm not certain how to define this, but would like to get a feeling. One metric might be the number of downloads of various versions. Another might be the size of this email list. My gratitude to the development team is huge.

You can check the download statistics of one of the two machines running ftp.freepascal.org: http://www.de.freepascal.org/webalizer. Since this is only one mirror, we expect 30-40 GB/day with all mirrors. So you can estimate 1000-2000 downloads a day.

Traffic on the 2 main ftp servers is 15-20Gb a day.

traffic on freepascal.stack.nl swings a lot, but is less. 100-500MB/day

While the question wasn't directed at Lazarus the number of registered members on the web site is: 2008

You can check the stats on the web site for hits on the site.

http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=Stats&file=index

You can also go to Source Forge and checks those stats. You will see around 300-400 downloads of Lazarus a day.
