Hi LLuis, As Sean already said mirrors are not included in the stats. The monthly nb of distinct IPs are reset every month and the yearly nb of distinct IPs are reset every year.
Some packages are indeed in two categories. Category assignment is based on the download URL only. For some mysterious reason the Apache logs contain some lines that indicate that AnnotationDbi was downloaded from an URL that points to a data experiment repository. These lines are very rare though (1 or 2 per year) so overall don't have any significant impact on the stats. Anyway that's something we'll need to dig into at some point. Cheers, H.

Hi, I have been looking at the stats of Bioconductor, and I would like to know more about how are they calculated. Do these stats account for the mirror sites? Are there any stats of the usage of mirrors? I found some packages that for the same month they have downloads in two categories. For instance AnnotationDbi has some downloads as experimental data package: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__bioconductor.org_packages_stats_data-2Dexperiment_AnnotationDbi_&d=DwIGaQ&c=eRAMFD45gAfqt84VtBcfhQ&r=BK7q3XeAvimeWdGbWY_wJYbW0WYiZvSXAJJKaaPhzWA&m=psknpX6b5M14sI3qf3U_bWP0s-rn_fEEnRsPoYrD2bw&s=Vn8nr1PNCdozt0465LZB9CXnGpPGdoEu_QskcQ6ehZA&e= while most of the downloads are in the software category (The right one). It seems that near 500 packages have downloads in two categories. The "Nb of distinct IPs" if I understand correctly is for each package and month. So if the same IP downloads again the package is listed as a new IP, isn't it? I assume that if mirrors are counted either no one downloads the same packages from different mirrors in the same IP or that these information is shared across mirrors for these stats.
