btw. I'm still using 32bit hardware every day.
Not really, because it's not openSUSE-specific.
The actual download numbers for 32-bit openSUSE would be better guidance.
As mentioned elsewhere, isos are often reused. Maybe not mentioned are isos may never have been used. I virtually never download devel versions, and almost as rarely install from even a release iso, burned or otherwise. I learned on SUSE 8.1 to install HTTP, and still that's usually how I do it. I don't install particularly often. Zypper makes upgrading easy, much less painful than installing fresh, and apparently no more dangerous, maybe less so, than upgrading via iso. Could be that's something 32 bit users do more of too, and another reason to choose openSUSE instead of some other distro. Could be the best way to determine 32 bit vs 64 bit usage is via volume going through the update repos. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
