Hi Andrea,

You are quite right about the download stats, I had forgotten that.

Cheers.

"As long as you have been collecting it" is fine for item page views.
But bitstream downloads really is the more interesting measure, and GA
knows about these only from when the download-as-GA-event code is
enabled, which is DSpace 5 if I remember correctly. That is a bit
disappointing to repository managers with download stats in DSpace that
go back to 2005. As far as I know, it isn't possible to bulk update GA
with retrospective data.

cheers,
Andrea
