BTW how do I distinguish automated (e.g. Travis-CI) downloads from regular downloads? Thanks! -- Andrei

On way could be to measure (unique) visits to http://dlang.org/download.html. Assuming regular downloads are people on the internet getting D manually.

For more accurate numbers you might want to measure clicks on download links on dlang.org/download.html. This would need to be done with client side javascript.

Travis set the User agent this way:
$ CURL_USER_AGENT="Travis-CI $(curl --version | head -n 1)"

There are other tools and installers that will fetch DMD. Like DVM, for example, which at lest some people use to install DMD. It fetches DMD from the DigitalMars FTP.

Thanks a lot, hope it's easy for you to maintain the redirects.

Would it also be possible to add a LATEST version?

Yes, I added that so you can keep track of the download numbers.
I'd be interested to know the travis-ci numbers, would also help to argue for download caching on travis-ci side.

Can you please also add cache-control headers?
Should be 'Cache-Control: public, max-age=31557600'
