Hi Andrea-
I am seeing major discrepancies in the Page Views unfortunately we we had a gap 
in download tracking via Google Analytics (the code was not reapplied when we 
migrated from Mirage 1 to Mirage 2) so we don't have anything to compare there.

Thanks,
s

Hi All-
In "View Usage Statistics" in Dspace (5.4 XMLUI) do "File Visits" == file 
downloads?

Yes.

 Also, should these align with "google-stats" if that is set up for downloads?

No, I wouldn't expect the numbers to be the same. The DSpace usage statistics 
and Google Analytics each do their own filtering of what they consider to be 
"bots" -- search engine crawlers and the like. I'd generally expect Google 
Analytics to be stricter with the filtering, so the GA numbers would likely be 
lower. Are you seeing major discrepancies between the two figures?

cheers,
Andrea
