Quite a lot, have a look at this:
http://www.google.com/search?q=%22adiumx.cachefly.net%2FAdium_1.0.5.dmg%22 
for a number of sites that link to 1.0.5 directly.

I assume they just copy the download link from the frontpage and paste 
it in their articles.

Usually it is no big deal because after people download an older 
version, Sparkle will update them to the most recent one. However, with 
these specific Sparkle issues, it might cause some trouble.

You could do a 'latest'-trick but that is no guarantee that they will 
not still supply a direct link as a 'service' to their readers.

Regards,
Michael
