Also interesting are the hits for 64-bit windows Pythons:

/ftp/python/2.5/python-2.5.amd64.msi (23192 hits) /ftp/python/2.5/python-2.5.ia64.msi (22523 hits)

But maybe misleading, as well. People just don't understand Win64: the hardware guy told them they have "64-bits", and now download everything with "64" in its name - just to see the message that this file isn't for their operating system.

Have the ratios changed against past figures (too lazy to look them up now)?

They did, but also because the statistics weren't updated correctly until recently.
