The logs aren't currently available for general viewing, but I took a
look at what we do have, and it shows rw1081.exe (the Windows binary
build of R 1.8.1) being downloaded from the main CRAN site about 28000
times.  Not all of those downloads were successful; they average
around 10 Meg each, and the file is 22 Meg in size.  On the other
hand, traffic to the mirrors isn't included at all.
