Just wondering, I was looking through the PG Top 100 and realised the figures for all the books are a lot higher than usual. Do we have a surge in visitors this week?
Due to problems at ibiblios file servers we didn't get the log files for some days and so the script couldn't count the downloads. If you want to see the global numbers go to: http://www.gutenberg.org/internal/stats/2005/02/ user: internal pass: books and look at month-files.html To see an independent stat about gutenberg.org's popularity go to: http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details?&range=3m&size=large&compare_sites=gutenberg.net,promo.net&y=t&url=gutenberg.org
Secondly, mainly because I can't get enough of stats, would it be possible to have a 'total number of books downloaded' somewhere, so we can compare week on week how we are doing?
I could add that figure quite easily on the top 100 page but it will be misleading. We just count the downloads from ibiblio's servers. We don't know how many books get downloaded from our mirrors. And, at the rate we are going, we are far below the numbers Michael likes to put in his newsletter (billions, trillions, gazillions) and most likely that'll start another war about how to count downloaded ebooks. -- Marcello Perathoner webmaster@gutenberg.org
