3DR Server Report Info

[Joe Siegler]

I ran the log file reports for the 3DR server today. I usually do that the first couple of days of a month. Here's some numbers on bandwidth usage, hits, and browser usage on our box for the month of October 2006.

www.3drealms.com:
Total Hits: 18,233,963
Total Pageviews: 1,764,515
Total Bandwidth: 93.32Gb (3.01Gb per day avg)

forums.3drealms.com:
Total Hits: 11,274,125
Total Pageviews: 363,681
Total Bandwidth: 49.71Gb (1.60Gb per day avg)

dopefish.com:
Total Hits: 164,328
Total Pageviews: 7,667
Total Bandwidth: 2.27Gb (77.35Mb per day avg)

ftp.3drealms.com:

Total:
Total Hits: 29,672,416
Total Pageviews: 2,135,863
Total Bandwith: 400.7Gb (12.91Gb per day avg)

400.7Gb a month works out to be about 4.8Tb a year. ;)

Thanks a lot, I actually find this info pretty useful.

Based on those reports, I should be able to move Duke4.net to my own personal server (that has 1 TB bandiwdth a month).

Question: Does FTP use count towards your cumulative bandwidth use on a paid server (from a host like godaddy.com)? Thanks! :)

[Joe Siegler]

We run our own box on a burstable T3 that comes to 3DR HQ. Hosting options are NOT relevant here.

And yes, of course it counts. ANYthing going in and out of your box counts as used bandwith.

When you think you're among friends...

I find it funny that dopefish has the highest percent of IE6 users :dopefish:

Do you keep historic copies of those reports? It would be interesting to see how much the market share has shifted between IE and Mozilla/Firefox over the years.

...just curious, not trying to start a browser war...

Yeah, I have 'em going back to 1999 I believe.

[Nessus]

I'm surprised to see that the main site is using almost as much bandwidth as the forums, I would have thought there would be way more activity here these days.

[OldGangster]

Yeah, I have 'em going back to 1999 I believe.

if its not too much trouble, could you post them?

[ADM]

That is quite interesting the high amount of IE users.

From BrightFalls.com October stats:

Total Unique Hits: 7,420
Total Hits: 26,786

User Agent:

Firefox: 60.5%
IE: 27.2%
Opera: 7%
Safari: 3.8%
Other: 1.5%

Funny the total bandwidth for BrightFalls.com for the whole month of October was only 2.38gb -- you use more per day then I do in the whole month. Granted I only have news on the site and no file downloads or anything, but I think that's all you have on the main site anyway (you have all your file downloads on FTP right?).

UPDATE:

I uploaded the indepth breakdown on Firefox and IE from my stats rather then typing it all down ;)

UPDATE 2:

Heh just saw my stats for September and I used 5gb of traffic but the majority came from one day (27/09) which I used 3gb -- I think that was when I got my site linked around to the big sites.

[Joe Siegler]

if its not too much trouble, could you post them?

It would be too much trouble, as I'm not going to post the raw files. There's sensitive information in there, and there's too many of them to manually go back in and type out the info.

Cool list, ADM (referring to the pic). One question though: Who is using Firefox 3.0? ;)

[ADM]

Ahh yeah didn't notice that.. haha. Someone could of spoofed their useragent or it could be one of the Firefox developers. Probably the fake agent one ;)

EDIT: Nevermind it's actually Firefox 3.0-- it's available as a nightly trunk download (http://internet.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=06/04/10/221230&tid=144).

[Joe Siegler]

I managed to get the FTP logs processed today, so I've altered the total above to be some real numbers. :)

6) IE4 - 1.53% (IE4?? - WTF!)

...Isnt that the version of IE that Win95 shipped with? :o

No, Win95 shipped with IE3… AFAIR.

[Kevin Wolff]

Originally, I don't think Windows 95 shipped with any version, or perhaps version 1. There were several releases of 95; the last was released with 4.0, but the most popular one shipped with version 2, I think.
