[sword-devel] identifying apps in ftp xferlog

Some time ago, I changed Xiphos' use of the Installmgr ctor to include
"xiphos at xiphos.org" as the default anonymous ftp "password." If you're
not aware, for anon ftp, this "password" is not an access password; it's
just a token that allows the server to track some idea of who or what
has accessed its content.
Then in recent v4, I changed it again so that it now identifies Xiphos
further, using platform+version at xiphos.org, e.g. L4.0.1 at xiphos.org.
This is current only since March 30, so its use and presence is a clear
minority at this time.
The result of this is that I am able to get some firm ideas about what
is retrieving which modules from xferlog files. The data is not
personally identifiable; it's just a sense of the apps in use.
I spent some time grinding through my ftp server's xferlog since March
1. Daily, my repo shovels ~4.4Gbytes, with high standard deviation
(low, 1.1G; high, 10.7G). I've attached several small summary files:
- overall totals
- by Xiphos generally, and by Xiphos v4, and by which of Linux and
Windows of Xiphos v4
- by PocketSword, because Nic made a similar change to identify PS, but
not by version
Interesting statistics:
- 10208 modules downloaded
- 2952 from PocketSword
- 2830 from Xiphos
- 305 of those were Xiphos v4
(already more than 10% of Xiphos retrievals, in only the last 12 out
of 43 days examined)
- 58 of those were Linux, the other 247 were Windows
- Weirdness: PocketSword users refresh the repo /often/:
3035 retrievals of mods.d.tar.gz. Xiphos, only 963.
I would like to encourage other app developers to make a similar trivial
change in the use of the InstallMgr ctor, to provide some kind of
identifying token. At the moment, only Xiphos and PS do so, and all the
rest show up as "installmgr at user.com," which doesn't really tell us much.
