One nice thing about RubyForge is that you can see how many times your
project has been downloaded. But downloads via RubyGems don't get put
in the RubyForge database, so they don't show up in the charts. This is
sad.
However, you can now get an idea of how many Gem downloads your project
has had in the current month by going (for example) here:
Do you happen to capture user agent? I'd be _really_ interested in seeing that.

Clearly *someone* setup an automatic program to pump their own download
stats. But, I won't mention any names.
I confess. My autodownload program is called Rails. Every time someone
installs Rails, it also downloads a copy of Rake.

What I was hoping for is stats on gems.rubyforge.org. We report user
agent when people do a remote install, so we could see who's using
what versions.
Thanks!

Hm, you know, I'm not capturing that in the HTTP logs now... but GForge
keeps a sort of rolling activity log for the past week or so:
====================================
gforge=> select browser, count(*) from activity_log group by browser;
browser | count
---------+--------
OPERA | 233
MOZILLA | 257478

Ah, nope, we don't capture that yet in the HTTP logs. Hm. I wonder if
anything bad would happened if I added that to the log output spec
thingy. Would it break all the previous Webalizer graphs and whatnot...
Yours,
Tom
