If you do go with the cron job idea I have found that Seagate (Crystal Decisions) Crystal Reports is a very good program for crunching that kind of data into a nice, readable format. It is not free or GPLed, but I do not know what I would do without it.

I guess I can look into this if I need to - was really hoping for a redhat friendly rpm install type package that wouldmagically give me a weekly report showing how much each ip address had downloaded, etc... - dan.
