thanks to statistics calls - i see that 6 users are already updated the program!
how it works: on the first run, random 8-byte number is generated and saved to config file. on every Internet check this number sent, together with current program version. the number will "label" installation until full deinstallation will occur with config file removing. if you have several installations, these will be counted as totally separate
so, counting unique IDs from update checks, we can tell how many users was installed FreeArc ever, how many still use it, how old versions they are use. i think that such system don't break any personal privacy
i think that it will be very interesting to enlarge this sytem to count console/GUI ratio, users of varius localizations, how many data are processed, which compression methods are most popular and so on. some stats will be interesting for user himself, other make meaning onlyfor entire society
