Lubuntu vs Xubuntu 14.10

I am religious upgrading my Linux distribution when a new version of Ubuntu is released. In 14.10, I've decided to jump onto the Xubuntu bandwagon, having seen that monitor handling is still bad in Lubuntu. I've downloaded both 64bit images from torrent and got the idea to leave my machine on and see which distribution comes out on top after 1 week. Interesting way to track popularity, by torrent upload ratios that is.

Here are the results:

A few observations:
1. Lubuntu is more popular, albeit with a substantially smaller ISO image. The actual data amount uploaded for Lubuntu was 34GB, while Xubuntu had 41GB uploaded. Still, the ratio is a more relevant metric and it renders Lubuntu more popular.
2. The activity on both dwindled significantly by day 7.
3. The Lubuntu to Xubuntu ratio on distrowatch (today) is 1.54 in favour of Lubuntu. The ratio I see is 1.16 in favour of Lubuntu.
