How accurate are these numbers? I know I've downloaded the XFCE spin at least 8 times from different computers on different networks and that counter hasn't even gone up by 1. The torrent reports just under 600 for the "downloaded" count as well.<br>

</div>I think it's not really a matter of "can't have". It's a matter of "maybe<br>
not the best use of energy". Take a look at the numbers for the top spins<br>
this release, over on the right column of this page:<br>

I don't think this is because KDE or XFCE aren't popular among Fedora users.<br>
People just don't get the via spins. And that's even more true for<br>
non-desktop spins.<br>
