VERY useful pointer, Richard.

In the interests of sharing some market research, here's the different  
referring domains for all downloads of AA 1.0:

760	apple.com
231	aperture-assistant.com
64	-
42	macupdate.com
38	versiontracker.com

As you can see, one day of that Apple featured download has beaten ALL  
other downloads put together - and it went up on VersionTracker and  
MacUpdate on Monday morning.


Here's the results for all versions both beta and final over the last  
three weeks (it was a short beta):

760	apple.com
408	aperture-assistant.com
264	versiontracker.com
206	macupdate.com
126	-
7	mac.softpedia.com

One thing I found particularly interesting is that VersionTracker's  
'number of downloads' doesn't seem to tally with the server logs -  
server 264 v. VT's 755. Odd.
