From my point of view I could care less how many shows are downloaded. To me HPR is about the impact of the shows and not the stats. We cannot judge that except by people giving feedback (which you should do). However I have lost that argument already before on this list and so there is an open ticket to add a "number of downloads" count on each show. There has also been a question "how many subscribers have you" Each time I started to tackle this topic, I hit a snag in what is a fair and accurate way to count downloads and subscribers. It's not as simple as just count the downloads. So for example do we: First ignore the attackers Then ignore the bots The ignore .... Then count .... but only if they play download ...% of the file [do|don't] count duplicates ... in a .... period (but do count them them if their user agent is different) Do we filter out shows that have a referral from a kazaa or other music mp3 sharing sites etc etc etc. As a bonus question, how do we deal with the large gaps in our log files over the years ? So if you have a think about this and then come back to me with your algorithm to work this out. I am going to do a show where I run each of the algorithms and discuss possible pros and cons of each. I know it would be easier if I could share the file but that would be a privacy violation and no it can not be anonymised. -- Regards, Ken Fallon http://kenfallon.com http://hackerpublicradio.org/correspondents.php?hostid=30
