This is the stats that I've seen for January. It's slightly differen than the Windows Installer data shown (as it includes all files over 3Mb on RubyForge -- and a little of my own stuff): The number of megabytes in each category indicates how many megabytes were actually consumed by the specified number of requests. 2005-01 95,168.0 Mb Total 68,735 Requests 94,748.7 Mb HTTP 68,041 Requests 419.3 Mb FTP 694 Requests Total Total Date Mb Requests 2005-01-31 5,082.46 2,800 2005-01-30 3,380.44 2,537 2005-01-29 2,612.19 2,263 2005-01-28 3,460.06 2,386 2005-01-27 4,362.77 2,736 2005-01-26 3,950.83 2,836 2005-01-25 4,739.47 2,702 2005-01-24 6,243.74 3,068 2005-01-23 5,043.30 2,772 2005-01-22 6,312.28 3,074 2005-01-21 13,957.13 4,201 2005-01-20 3,054.99 2,602 2005-01-19 3,585.44 2,485 2005-01-18 3,924.42 2,864 2005-01-17 2,283.77 2,245 2005-01-16 1,784.23 2,215 2005-01-15 2,011.35 2,266 2005-01-14 2,777.88 3,431 2005-01-13 3,001.72 2,673 2005-01-12 3,184.64 2,419 2005-01-11 3,092.34 2,974 2005-01-10 2,926.94 5,528 2005-01-09 1,945.36 2,327 2005-01-08 1,560.58 2,190 2005-01-07 874.47 1,053 2005-01-06 1.94 24 2005-01-04 13.26 64 I'm not sure how RubyForge's bandwidth went otherwise, but I think it would be a good thing to add more mirrors. :) -austin -- Austin Ziegler * halostatue / gmail.com * Alternate: austin / halostatue.ca
