CNet's Download.com now bundling Nmap with malware
Yes. Download.com is the 173rd highest traffic site in the world. They're probably pushing over 100-200k downloads a month at least. Nothing compared to the Apple or Android app stores, but still a significant number.

I'm guestimating that you're off by an order of magnitude.
According to Alexa, somewhere between 0.6% and 0.8% of the entire web goes there every day.

Download.com users are probably over-represented on Alexa simply because of all the tracking crapware they have installed.
