How can they even tell how many truly downloaded a distro?

No, they don't. Its actually described. Distrowatch just tracks how many clicks the pages on Distrowatch has. That's all. But lot of people don't understand and take these numbers as general popularity index.

Makes sense. Thanks for the explanation.
