We're also working on publishing stats from our webserver log files,
and possibly offering up the raw log files for analysis.  We've had
around 16 million GET requests to the torproject.org/download/
directory alone.  

An example webserver log line is:

0.0.0.1 - - [05/Jun/2011:00:00:00 +0000]
"GET /dist/torbrowser/tor-browser-1.3.24_en-US.exe HTTP/1.1" 200
17191563 "https://www.torproject.org/download/download.html.ru" "-"

We've configured our apache servers to log '0.0.0.0' for http and
'0.0.0.1' for https accesses.  We're doing analysis as to how much
information is available in the log files before deciding to release
them to the world or not.
