I've got a web alert set up for "simutrans", so I'll post interesting things I find.

There's the first - it's a City Journal over on Simtropolis, the website for SimCity.
I foresee an influx of SimCity players to here.
In the german forum, Sojo has started to search and compile links, too:
http://www.simutrans-forum.de/forum/thread.php?threadid=2754&threadview=0&hilight=&hilightuser=0&page=4
The first few pages of the thread were centered around searching, rather. The reminder of the thread is more about Simutrans links. Some are of doubtful value, though.
Found something maybe interesting: http://zx81.zx81.free.fr/serendipity/index.php?/archives/452-Pandora-Simutrans-Transportation-simulation-game-for-pandora.html
Which apparently is for this device: http://openpandora.org/
Simutrans was included on a game disc: http://www.dedoimedo.com/games/linux-games-part-10.html
^ From http://www.dedoimedo.com:
Quote(...) the game is a modern adaptation of the DOS-era game, with enhanced AI, much more sophisticated transport capabilities, new features, and more.
You may be put off by simple graphics - but you should not be. Simutrans is an extremely realistic and challenging game, with complex transport network system and strict rules (...)
Overall impression:
ExcellentQuality of graphics:
8/10
QuoteThe game is an open-source remake of the legendary Transport Tycoon Deluxe (TTD)

I'm not so much posting this to get them an answer from us, but... do we have download stats? I'm curious now :)
SF has download stats... go to Simutrans SF site >> Develop >> Download stats (beta)

That would not take into account the nightly downloads, which for many of us, is the only place we download Simutrans :)
Well, the nightlies are not hosted at SF, but I think Frank may have some stats..
