It used to be 7 times for 0.8.4</li> <li>The source downloads have been down dramatically compared to 0.8.4. Why ? People don't build VLC ? A bug in the accounting ? I am gonna check.</li> </ul> http://www.jbkempf.com/blog/post/2006/11/05/26-millions#comment-form http://www.jbkempf.com/blog/post/2006/11/05/26-millions#comment-form http://www.jbkempf.com/blog/feed/atom/comments/3
