Statistics?

From

Folks,

I've asked a number of times about collecting FTP download stats for 7.4.   So
far, I've received a deafening silence.   Do we have no way of contacting the
mirrors to ask for this?

Josh, sorry, didn't see your previous messages. We do have the email
addresses for the mirror maintainers on the system, but we have never
asked them to collect stats or logs.

What exactly do you want? The last thing we want to do is get 50 x 100MB
log files (I wish!) emailed to us. Perhaps you have a grep/count/awk
command that will summarise what you need?

Regards, Dave.

I just want an approximate count of how many people
have downloaded 7.4 since its release.  We currently have no good answer to
the question of "how many people use PostgreSQL?"; the download record would
be a good start.

Hi Josh,

Preliminary results (I'll forward you all the emails when they've
stopped coming in):

Respondees:              15
Total downloads:       6854
Average downloads:      457
Total mirrors today:     59
Estimated downloads: 26,963

Of course, that's very rough...

Regards, Dave.

Thanks for doing that.   I'll contact David F. about Bittorrent counts, which
are easier.

Preliminary stats are available at <http://bt.postgresql.org:6969/>

I'm putting together a log analyzer.

Cheers,
