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:

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 dashboard.osafoundation.org
