Citing my previous mail:

I now checked all downloads of the latests installers since 2022-12-30.

qemu-w32-setup-20221230.exe – 509 different IP addresses
qemu-w64-setup-20221230.exe - 5471 different IP addresses

339 unique IP addresses are common for 32- and 64-bit, either crawlers or people who simply got both variants. So there remain 170 IP addresses which only downloaded the 32-bit variant in the last week.

I see 437 different strings for the browser type, but surprisingly none of them looks like a crawler. 

So there still seems to be a certain small need for QEMU installers for 32-bit Windows: 170 users für 32 bit only, 339 users for both 32 and 64 bit, 5132 users for 64 bit only.
