Subject: RootsWeb in September -- 207,360,000,000 Bytes Served
Date: Sun, 26 Oct 1997 05:25:38 -0800


Hi!

I don't believe I have shared the stats from RootsWeb for some
time. We are a part of these HUGE stats since RootsWeb is providing
us with the ability to run this list.

I know most of you are sponsors, but we do have some new members.
Please note below how you can get information on how to support
RootsWeb in this massive venture.

Stay warm! Winter is making an early visit for most of US!
El Nino... Boo! BTW, Happy Halloween as well! :)

Thanks...Nancy

>o 14,687,507 Web files (10,806,579 in June) from 1,891
> Websites.
> - 4,462,656 were HTML pages (not images or cgi-bin)
> (3,405,973 in June).
> - 1,777,881 were cgi-bin database searches and such.
> (1,711,484 in June).
> - 8,317,545 were GIFs (7,560,589) or JPEGs (756,956)
> (5,689,122 in June were GIFs (5,220,285) or JPEGs
> (468,837).
>
>o 427,565 FTP file downloads from the USGenWeb Archives
> and the ROOTS-L Library (306,827 in June).
>
>o We've lost count of how much mail we're shipping to
> the 1,900+ mailing lists we host, but last month it
> was in the neighborhood of 60-90,000,000 million pieces.
>
>o 60,000 alt.g and s.g.* Usenet News articles
> to hosts on three continents (same as June).
>
>o Approximately 207,360,000,000 bytes in total
> (158,630,400,000 in June).

>In summary, we've had roughly a 36% growth in Web use over

>In the last three months, we have added several new server
