That's really high. 1/100 to 1/1000 is more typical for shareware.
But it does depend to some extent on the nature of the product. A
general-interest product might have a low ratio of payments-to-downloads,
while a highly specialized product that offers real value to a small but
dedicated market might have a very high ratio -- and a higher price to
offset the smallness of the market.
