Yeah, right.

Edit: this figure is possibly taken from the WinRAR website [1]. It is more likely that there have been that many cumulative downloads, and even that seems to be a high number. Given that Windows has .zip file support built-in for quite some time, and the fact that nearly nobody downloads .zip files anymore, makes me very suspicious of this kind of statistic.
