Anything constructive you want to say???
What's a public statistic? Any number made public? Then this is, too.
If you mean verifiable then I suppose you have to leave the electronic world - you will never see a number verifiable by itself.
And even if the downloads were counted by a reliable entity like sourceforge, google or similar, anyone could have a script running downloading software multiple times: 862kB ~ 1s on a 8Mb line ~ 80000 downloads a day.
Thus anybody (e.g. concerned with 'marketing') could easily double the downloads in 2 days...
So if you don't have anything else to say, I'd say you are spamming.
