Millimeters to go before I sleep


"Hi,

I have checked the stats of your account and can found that there is no
hacking issues with your account. But the majority of the bandwidth was
used by downloading the mp4/mp3/mov and jpg files on your account - along
with spiders/bots used 112 GB of the bandwidth for this month so far. And
of course, you are getting hits to those media files from almost around
the world including the regions you specified on the tickets.

You can either use hot link protection for the media files - to deny
hotlinking of files and can use robots.txt file to deny unwanted bots from
accessing your account."

China continues to grow, but Poland has greater bandwidth. China wins on
the number of hits. The US is pathetic, way behind; European Countries
have a greater bandwidth than the US has pages. Germany and Great Britain
are "looking around." Everything else is miniscule; except for slight
blips from Germany and the Russian Federation, the world is quiet. So many
others register close to emptiness! Indonesia has zero pages but two
hundred hits; a huge 2.32 gigabytes were downloaded. Thailand comes in for
661.83 megabytes and 57 hits, not a page among them. The haven of Estonia
registers a full 1.45 gigabytes, 73 hits, and zero pages. I wonder what
they're enjoying. Ethiopia - one page, one hit, 7.13 kilobytes, oddly
matched by Croatia - 1, 1, 7.13. Under "others" - i.e. "not countries" -
there are 0 pages, 0 hits, and a mysterious 88 gigabytes.

NO ONE SPENT OVER AN HOUR AT THE SITE, and only ONE PERSON 30-60 min, TWO
PEOPLE 15-30 min. Ah how beautiful it would be to have copies of my site,
like flowers, everywhere! But most of my visits - 592 in fact - dashed in
and out, under 30 seconds, nothing there but a directory. Only 14 spent
over five minutes, which means just about no one looked at the .mp4s for
any length of time, much less downloaded any of them. My work must count
for something, but it truly strikes out: it's the robots and spiders who
absorb my silliness and will soon take over the world...
