Today I was absolutely shocked when I took some time to look over the statistics from the website. With the new download manager in place and the hotlink protection engaged I am able to see _exactly_ how much bandwidth the server is using. Since Dec 1 these are the statistics from the site. Bandwidth usage 5.715 / 1200 GB (5.7GB in 2 days!!!) File downloads: crafty1917se.zip 0 132 crafty1917sepb.zip 1 94 craftysepbs.zip 2 21 cc2004full.zip 3 86 cc2004exeonly.zip 4 54 4gm.zip 5 34 ppccrafty_booksbin.zip 6 19 pbbooks.zip 7 51 sounds.zip 8 22 book.zip 9 94 bookc.zip 10 92 books.zip 11 97 craftyrc.zip 12 87 mikeb.zip 13 69 normbk01.zip 14 65 crafty1917p3.zip 15 31 crafty1917sse2.zip 16 28 crafty1917sse.zip 17 38 crafty1917blended.zip 18 119 gm2001.zip 19 124 Craftyv19.17.exe 20 41 Only the second column of numbers is really relavant. It shows the actual number of downloads of a given file. The first column is just where I added them on the site as they would appear. 99.97% of the people downloading the files above now see the main site. This is a HUGE climb from 57.62% before. I attribute the huge leap in file downloads from when other sites were hot linking to one file the user was not seeing the other file available. Now when they click a link from a direct link on another person's site they are brought to the main page. As you can see the number of user files downloaded compared to my own. It is 4-1 or greater. Simply amazing. (Other than the blended build which was always very popular) The other amazing think is the last file on the list. I posted a link to the file here at the CCC and no where else, yet has been downloaded 41 times since that post (24 hours ago). I wish the counter I had on the page had worked the entire time, but the database I use for the forums and the counter was down for a good duration of the day while I was at work. Peter
