I can answer this! The mod has at least a million downloads, but I don't know exactly how many.

From the versions I still have in Mediafire, there are a little over 1,085,000 downloads. That is from everything since Public Beta 13 (the map update), and also a few of the ones before.

Unfortunately, I don't have most of the pre-B13 versions still stored there. Only 2, 6.2, and 8.3, the last versions released for certain Minecraft updates, which is why I kept those versions available. So the download count for many of the early versions is lost. But, based on how many B13 and B14 got in the months when they were current, and remembering that the mod was popular pretty much from when it was first released, I'd estimate those early first-year versions would add at least another 200,000 to the count.

So that's a conservative estimate of around 1.3 million. But considering unauthorised rehosts, modpacks, and the like, the full total may be even higher.

Also, the total download count for all Beta 30 versions, the current update, is 25,142.

That's from a period of a little over a month, and the mod has been available for nearly 4 years now. From this one can calculate that the download rate has dropped somewhat since the 'glory days' in 2014, but not massively.
