Statistics

We do have images to. However, it's the PHP files which use most of the bandwidth and it'll be the sheer amount of visits we get. It may decrease a little due to the new caching methods.

The busiest day this month was the 6th (over 700 MB) and the quietest was the 24th (over 185 MB). Interestingly the busiest days of the week are Tuesday and Thursday with the quietest being Saturday. Most visits occur around 2am GMT (8pm Central) with the least at 9am GMT (3am Central).

Most visits last between 0 and 30 seconds (probably bots) with the next largest visit being over an hour! The average overall is about 17 minutes.

Not the Firefox 10 nightly?
This needs to be fixed! *fixes*

This is so interesting. 

I was reading the beginning of the thread (not realizing it) and was reading September 2010's stats, and saw that there were some hits from Netscape, and my thought was "People still use Netscape?!?" Then I realized it was a year ago, doh! 

Also, question, what's a spider?

[flames]

Some interesting information, as always.
I was always confused how each month I saw that there were netscape users but I finally got around to looking it up and found out that it had stayed in development a lot longer than I thought it had. (posting this via netscape 9 for sake of irony)

Seems like the FF is accessed from some pretty varied locations around the world...

Also, question, what's a spider?

An automated "robot" which browsers web sites for some reason. In the case of search engine spiders it indexes the pages and allows them to show up on search pages.

Oh, neat. It's totally cool to think how much the internet has developed over the past decade or so.

The drop in bandwidth usage is not necessarily a bad thing, these shows that our caching systems are working correctly!

Woah! This is really interesting to see! I have to say I did not expect to see how scattered the visitors to the site are!
