There's been a recent bump in downloads of the Desktop app.
At first, I reported (elsewhere) that a particular robot had gone
awry. That was an error.
Instead, there's been an actual bump in downloads. The relevant
referrers:
http://toget.pchome.com.tw/intro/business_note/26165_dl.html
Taiwan, pointed at 0.7.2.exe directly. And:
http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/Chandler-Download-31189.html
pointed at 0.7.3.exe directly.
A bonus metric link, showing cumulative downloads (showing the last
six months):
http://tsm.osafoundation.org/series/downloads:chandler:total/graph?w=750&h=500&days=180&accum=1
Over 35,000 downloads in the last 5 months.
The false spikes turned out to actually be Windows 98 clients, on
multiple days. A given client would be downloading (apparently) a
couple copies of the 35Mb download an average of once per second. I'm
actually assuming these are not full downloads, but partial-download
byte-range requests where the file to download has already been fully
downloaded, and the repetition is due to a client-side bug.
Downloads have been rerun, so the updated graphs are available on
