Comment (by mikeperry):

 The ratios are just as bad for win32 users, and seem to be getting worse
 over time.

 For Windows users today:

 {{{
 grep ".mar " dist.torproject.org-access.log | grep -v "GET
 /torbrowser/4.0.8/" | grep -v incremental | grep win32 | grep -c 4.5.1
 20938
 grep "incremental.mar" dist.torproject.org-access.log | grep -v "GET
 /torbrowser/4.0.8/" | grep win32 | grep 4.5.1 -c
 37277
 }}}

 At a glance, it does not appear to be specific to any one locale. I see at
 least 6 locales in this list.

 I think the fact that this ratio is getting worse points strongly to a
 concurrent update. Maybe test upgrading vs not upgrading HTTPS-Everywhere
 as your first experiment?
