It's just that such data on traffic etc is not easily available, and even less available is data on the number of requests for a single item. So, the page does have some interesting numbers. E.g. one thing i would be curious, and never found out, is how many downloads there are of a new FreeBSD release when it comes out, say in 6hrs periods for the first few days. And, how much bandwidth and CPU could be saved if FreeBSD was distributed using multicast e.g. with an application like RMDP... cheers luigi -----------------------------+-------------------------------------- Luigi Rizzo | Dip. di Ingegneria dell'Informazione email: luigi@iet.unipi.it | Universita' di Pisa tel: +39-50-568533 | via Diotisalvi 2, 56126 PISA (Italy) fax: +39-50-568522 | http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/ _____________________________|______________________________________ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
