I'm trying to review server logs to determine the number of completed downloads of an installation program available from a server. I have already reduced the reported requests to just the name of the file I'm reporting on:
FILEEXCLUDE * FILEINCLUDE *my_installer.exe
When I review the file size report, I'm seeing that the file is reported as a variety of sizes. And reviewing the entries in the original log file supports this. Only a subset of all requests to that file have the full file size in bytes associated with the request line. Many of the requests have a delivered file size reported as being smaller than the original file, which I assume indicates an aborted download. Sample file size report (actual file size is about 1.8 MB):
size reqs %bytes 1B- 10B 0 11B- 100B 0 101B- 1kB 0 1kB- 10kB 0 10kB-100kB 14 1.85% 100kB- 1MB 9 4.62% 1MB- 10MB 24 93.53%
Is there any way to report /completed/ downloads, as opposed to just all requests for a file, whether the entire file was delivered or not?
Thanks, Mike
I am not an expert at this, but I have a similar problem. Looking at my acces
log I noticed that in some cases I would get at status code 200 followed by the
full file size. In other cases, I would get a status code 200 immediately
followed by several status codes 206 from the same browser, presumeably
requesting the download in smaller (partial) parts. I have resorted the using
STATUSEXCLUDE 206 to stop counting the multiple partial requests for the same
file. It appears I get at least one 200, then maybe several 206s. So counting
the 200s seem to get me a more accurate count. Rick
Look see what i did here: http://info.watorrey.net/reports/public/2005bytesTAM.html
There are several large files i am interested in how many times they get downloaded. But since i have no illusions that i can get an accurate count from the log files, I track the bytes transferred and divide by filesize using a calculator.
