ChrisFlynn Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Hi everyone, Slightly off-topic, but I know this is a great forum I've just recently started a podcast, and am trying to get some useful stats on the mp3 downloads (don't care about xml views, so feedburner is not use to me ). On my hosting package I have got three stats applications. However: Webalizer hits episode 1 - 914 episode 2 - 451 Analog requests episode 1 - 914 episode 2 - 451 *AwStats views* episode 1- 696 episode 2- 239 My questions: 1) Why the difference between AwStats and the others? Is AwStats filtering out duplicate users or something? 2) What's the best way for me to count file downloads? (So I can see how many people are hearing my podcast). Ideally, I want to see the number of completed *.mp3 downloads for each file by day. I have access to my raw logs so what are the best simple apps? (Windows desktop or PHP) I don't care about referrers, times, agents etc... something like this would be great: 20080424: Ep1.mp3 = 40, Ep2.mp3 = 23 20080425: Ep1.mp3 = 23, Ep2.mp3 = 50 ... 2a) I only want to count complete downloads. If I get: 70.107.132.22 - - [17/Apr/2008:03:23:19 +0100] "GET /Ep1.mp3 HTTP/1.1" 200 44628 "-" "iTunes/7.6.2 (Windows; N)" but I know my file is actually 3143523 bytes, I want to discount anything else (such as 44628). Is this possible using any apps, or even worthwhile? How does a resume work - is that 2 log entries, or just one? Any recommendations? I know it's not an exact science, but it'd be good to get close...

ChrisFlynn Posted June 11, 2008 Author Share Posted June 11, 2008 To ask a shorter question... Any apps where I can import log files, and then tell it just to parse for file X, and generate a day by day count e.g. File X 20080601 - 14 20080602 - 7 20080603 - 4 20080604 - 0 20080605 - 2 Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/102897-analysing-logs-for-mp3-podcast-statistics/#findComment-563361 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisFlynn Posted June 14, 2008 Author Share Posted June 14, 2008 Let me rephrase one last time(!) - any idea where I should be asking alternatively? It's not Apache-specific, and Apache forums seem to be concerning the setup more than the latter analysis. Anyone?
