Hi Hassan,

In 2008, when the original file format was conceived that fourth column 
contained 'total bytes transferred'. 
I have never seen anyone use that number. 

So in derivative and aggregated versions that number has been set to zero for a 
long time.
In the third incarnation of this data stream it's still there just to not break 
client scripts which may expect it.

Cheers,

Erik Zachte

Subject: [Analytics] Problem in Pageviews Files

Hi, thanks for the great work.

I have a question about data files available at 
https://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/pageviews/

As I understood, in each line, the third column is number of pageviews and the 
fourth one is its total traffic. But the fourth column is always zero! Did I 
make a mistake in understanding the meaning of these numbers?

For example in line 346 of file

https://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/pageviews/2016/2016-04/projectviews-20160401-060000

we see "en - 4271631 0" which means there were 4271631 views for that project, 
with zero traffic!

Thanks in advance,
Hassan
