Thanks for implementing this.

Does this work if the user goes to http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/ , is 
redirected to a mirror, and then navigates the mirror to find the file 
he wants to download? Or it only works if the file is accessed trough a 
full link like http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/ed/ed-1.14.2.tar.lz ?

I have noticed that files can be counted in more than one place. For 
example, in 
http://download.savannah.gnu.org/ftpmirror-stats/ftpmirror-stats-packages.html 
you can see:

ed-1.14.2.tar.lz        1
[...]
gnu
ed/ed-1.14.2.tar.lz     6

But the funniest thing is that it can apparently invent files that do no 
exist (ddrescue is released in lz format only):

ddrescue-1.22.tar.gz    2

Antonio.
