That's very difficult to say. The total number of downloads per version runs into the thousands (say, average ~5000) with the stable versions that have been around for a long while (such as V0.34) going up to around the 10,000 mark.
I think that it's reasonably safe to assume that the number of *people* that corresponds to is the same (a few people will download a given version twice, but not that many!).
How many people in total though is much harder to work out; it certainly isn't the sum of all the downloads as many people do download each version. Equally, it's not just the highest number for a single version as some people download one version, are happy with it, and then don't download any others (even now, I still get the odd finished game from people running V.20something).
So, the total number of people is somewhere between about 10,000 and 200,000 with it very much skewed towards the lower end. If I had to guess (and that's all it would be) I'd say about 15-20,000 separate people have downloaded RTC.

yeah, I-for example- downloaded latest version few times: downloaded once, then I had to format HD, so downloaded twice, then I got a viruse or spyware so I had to get rid of RTC to save a space on my HD to install antivirus (I have always about 5-40 Mb free on my HD), then, when I got rid the viruses, I deleted an antivirus to have a space for installing RTC once again... I also downloaded it on my friend`s machine to play DM2 a bit (75 fps, while on my ancient machine it`s much lower)... etc.
But I guess my case isn`t typical
If there`s a lot of downloads from Japan that`s means a lot of people dont register on the forums, because there are ~7 Japanees on the forum (Kentaro, Simon,Tonari and others).
BTW I always though that Japanese is most intiligente and creative Nation on the world (this is thrue!)
