Dear Dr. Loesing,
If it is possible, can I know the peak number of the concurrent clients? For example, you publish a single number per day, like 200,000 clients who are simultaneously using Tor. This number without geographical information may not hurt the anonymity, but it may help me know how popular Tor is and how much load is on Tor.
Best, Lei

I have a question about estimated number of Tor clients. I know that the average number of Tor clients per day for each country is provided on the metrics site, which is a daily basis number. I am curious if I can get a more fine-grained information about how many clients are using Tor per hour for each country? I would like to know the peak number of concurrent users who are using Tor at a given time. Can anyone please give me some clues?
You'll find some related "questions and answers about user statistics" here:
https://gitweb.torproject.org/metrics-web.git/tree/doc/users-q-and-a.txt
Let me try to rephrase your question and answer it here, so that it can be added to that page, probably as fifth question after "So, are these distinct users per day...":
""" Q: Are there more fine-grained numbers available, for example, on the number of users per hour? A: No, the relays that report these statistics aggregate requests by country of origin and over a period of 24 hours. The statistics we would need to gather for the number of users per hour would be too detailed and might put users at risk. """
Does that make sense?
All the best, Karsten
