It is possible to count unique IPs, rather than bytes. Another poster pointed out the problem of local archives, but there is no reason to assume that stable users are more or less likely to use local arhives that unstable users, so that shouldn't skew the ratios. Yes, even this would not be a perfect measure. But I bet it would be quite good. And it would be possible to quantify how good by doing a bootstrap. I for one would be interested in the total number of unique IPs that accessed each official archive in the last, say, 3 months. (If someone will send me the logs, I'll compile the statistics myself -- but I imagine that would raise privacy concerns.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
