Hmm.. I figured that Apache would only log the actual transfer amount ,not just the file size. If you look at most "web traffic" software ,they pretty much just analyze log files . The difference is in just how fancy they can make the output look :) I looked in my O'Reilly Apache Cookbook last night and they didn't have anything like this either. As you said in your email, it looks like this is not an Apache thing. Here's what I expect you'll have to do. Log all the regular HTML traffic (i.e. downloads under 30K) with the apache logs. The error in calculation here isn't too big. So you can utilize the apache logging there. Track all the big downloads by writing your own download software (PHP, Perl, etc.) . So when they click on a file to download, it goes through your php/perl wrapper first which you'll have to program to track the amount of data sent . Don't ask me how :) It'd take me awhile to figure out also. The only ways I can think of to do it would result in huge performance hits on file downloads (like downloading the file to the browser in 5K chunks and tallying those up, very yucky way to do it and undesirable). The less performance hit way to do it would be to get a network traffic monitoring tool which can accurately tally your traffic. Problem there is that these aren't usually application aware so I don't know how you'd relate the traffic stats back to your separate users. I would say this direction is probably your better bet. Sorry couldn't help you much. Good luck. I'ts an interesting question and I'll keep thinking about it. Ben Y == Original Message Follows == Hmmm, it would seem that the log file merely puts in the filesize. Not the amount it transferred. I test it with a 10Mb file, and cut it off after 500k ish, and it still reported 10Mb. I don't think apache can do this by itself. I need a mixture of cgi scripts/bash scripts/perl etc Still lost...and in need of a hard kick in the right direction.
