Strange download figures from Mozilla Update
Wednesday, 18th January
I know I should be bug fixing, but it’s much more fun to make pretty graphs so here’s a graph using the download figures from Mozilla Update for ViewMyCurrency for the last 4 days
The left axis is cumulative downloads. Week is taken from ‘Downloads this Week’ and Total is ‘Total Downloads’
The right axis shows the downloads per hour. Week’ is the differential of week, Total’ is the differential of total.
There seems to be something fishy going on!
- The extension is still in its first week so I would expect downloads per week to equal total downloads. But as you can see, downloads per week is bigger than, and growing faster than, total downloads. At the time writing, Total Downloads: 2216 — Downloads this Week: 3041
Strange. Anybody in the know care to comment?

See: http://lxr.mozilla.org/update1.0/source/core/maintenance.php
It is a script that runs in cron from the cmdline. If you can figure out why the “total” option is not logging events, it might solve the problem. I couldn’t see it the other night — will look at it more today.

[...] I wrote earlier that there was something fishy about the Mozilla Update download figures. (The “downloads this week” was more than the “total downloads”).Well now it looks like morgamic and justdave fixed the problem. Thanks guys! [...]
