In fact, it was our number one download last week, by quite a wide margin. Intrigued, I dug deeper, and discovered that at least the top 50 downloading sites are in China (sez whois, anyway). Of course, last week was quite low for US and European traffic, while the Chinese probably don't much take Christmas off, which probably helps to make any activity from China stand out over this week. So I went back to some older data (December 13-20), but I find much the same pattern there: 1.6.0-1 at the top of the list, overwhelmingly downloaded from China. Could be some kind of crawler or 'bot, I suppose, but the HTTP "User- Agents" claim it's Internet Explorer. Could be some crawler or 'bot claiming to be IE.... Just curious, but is there some reason Chinese users might be stuck at 1.6.0? Maybe localization is lagging, something like that? -==- Jack Repenning Chief Technology Officer CollabNet, Inc. 8000 Marina Boulevard, Suite 600 Brisbane, California 94005 office: +1 650.228.2562 twitter: http://twitter.com/jrep
