3) There doesnt' seem to be much point to the distribution splits. A total of less than 5% the *number* of downloads. And most people probably get more than one file, so in reality that number shuold proably be divided by 4 or 5. I know several people who downloaded source *plus* the split ones, because "hey, I need postgresql. And I certainly need base too. And I need docs.". They don't realise it's included in the main tarball. Frankly, I'd suggest dropping the splits. Thoughts?
this tracks only those going in through the web ... this doesn't track those using an ftp client going in and downloading files ... specifically, I know that all of the FreeBSD ports are based on the split distributions ... in the case of the postgresql80-server port, it only downloads base and opt and ignores the rest ...
