Title: download statistics
Post by: rondari on March 10, 2007, 09:11:40 PM
Getting number of downloads is pretty important for me. I'm assuming this is not a trivial task ... but some kind of call to do a date range based number of downloads would be excellent. Something like:

s3cmd.rb  countdownloads  <bucket>:key [startDate] [endDate]

where starDate and endDate are optional ... specifying neither means retrieve all downloads for all time. Specifying only the startDate woud mean from startDate to now. Specifying the end date would mean from all-time start to that date.

its really easy to get downloads from a torrent tracker (garanteed to count only full-downloads)... but I'm not sure how the logging on Amazon S3 works ... just giving you the http requests is not necessaily an accurate refelction of full-downloads (especially for files 200Meg and up).... lots of people would start the download and then quit it when they lose patience ...
