On the other hand, maybe I'm counting wrong. I'll be looking at the 7GB access_log (currently) in detail once the WEF is over, and maybe Marcello can help so we can compare apples to apples. I have tried to only include successful/completed downloads, and also to only include eBooks (not stuff like front page images and the catalog page), but the count is based on a simple "grep" so could be off.
One other factoid: We are using iptables to limit the number of simultaneous connections from a single IP address. (This might make for some unhappy proxy users, unfortunately.)
The download total as of right now is just over 19 million.
A more telling statistic would be the number of unique downloaders rather than books downloaded. I hypothesize that a sizable chunk of the downloads for the WeBF are being done by a relatively small number of people who are massively downloading the collection, especially the non-PG stuff.
