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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
