1.  Anytime one of the servers is down, the count for a particular file may
not be available -- indicated in this report with a "n/a".
2.  Due to technicalities, the WA Mac software was unavailable for download
from Nov 15 to Dec 11, thus the "0" download counts.
3.  The # on Jan 4 for the Mac download represents the new mac version
"wamac.sea" file.
