MakeMKV download stats
Posted: Tue Sep 01, 2026 6:48 pm
I will not release the exact download stats, but for those interested, here are some interesting facts about the MakeMKV-related files I am hosting, including MakeMKV itself.
- There seem to be a *lot* of bots checking the links without attempting to download the files. Some files have quite a few more views than downloads.
- Around 60% of MakeMKV downloads are Windows downloads
- Around 22% of MakeMKV downloads are Linux downloads (only the latest version of makemkv-bin was taken into account for this, obviously)
- Around 18% of MakeMKV downloads are Mac downloads
- makemkv-bin-1.18.4 has slightly more downloads than makemkv-oss-1.18.4, though certainly not by much
- makemkv-bin-1.17.6 has slightly less than a third of the downloads for makemkv-bin-1.18.4
- Quite a lot of people are interested in the recovery firmwares (BP50NB40-NB40-1.00-Clean, DE_ASUS_BW-16D1HT_1.01, DE_LG_WH16NS40_1.01). I certainly hope that a lot of people are just making backup copies of these recovery firmwares and not actually "messing up", because otherwise that would be a large number of people doing bad things to their drives.
- Nobody has been interested in the LG BH40N A1B2 flasher so far : 0 views, 0 downloads.
- Very few people have been interested in the BH40N A1B1 firmware.
- A few more people have been interested in the BU40N CB05 firmware, but still not many.
- The number of people who downloaded sdf.bin is currently significantly higher than the number of people who downloaded the MK firmware pack
- The number of people who downloaded sdf.bin is roughly equal to 74% of the number of people who downloaded MakeMKV for Mac
- A surprising number of people seem to be interested in the old original version of SDFtool Flasher (the number of downloads for this one is approximately half the number of people who downloaded makemkv-bin-1.17.6)
