<p>You can chek this and other statistics in:
<a href="http://blockchain.info/" rel="nofollow">http://blockchain.info/</a></p>

<p>With the available data, the simplest way is taking the number of blocks:
<a href="http://blockchain.info/q/getblockcount" rel="nofollow">http://blockchain.info/q/getblockcount</a>
and the average number of transactions per block:
<a href="http://blockchain.info/q/avgtxnumber" rel="nofollow">http://blockchain.info/q/avgtxnumber</a>
and multiply them. As I'm writing I get 215749*238=51348262 transactions.</p>

<p>The daily number of transactions is also online:
<a href="http://blockchain.info/charts/n-transactions?showDataPoints=true&amp;timespan=&amp;show_header=true&amp;daysAverageString=1&amp;scale=0&amp;address=" rel="nofollow">http://blockchain.info/charts/n-transactions?showDataPoints=true&amp;timespan=&amp;show_header=true&amp;daysAverageString=1&amp;scale=0&amp;address=</a></p>

<p>You could write some code to count the transactions directly from you local copy of the blockchain, but if you want a fast figure the links I've written are enough.</p>

Average transactions per block is probably computed with a sliding window. The average has not been stable since the genesis block. It was probably much lower during the first year. I suppose 51M transactions is only an upper bound.

You are right. Counting the transactions the number is much smaller.
