Interesting. Any way to get data on active new user numbers over time?

Regardless, Sci-Hub launched in 2011 and has been frequently discussed in the media since then.

The only data we have are the 2015-16 download logs posted by Elbakyan and a reporter for 'Science.' At the time they had 28 million+ downloads over 6 months. I truly hope no more logs are released (at least not with that level of detail).
