Another week has gone by, so it's time to have a look at the logs. BottomFeeder downloads for the week went at a rate of just over 330 per day, so that looks pretty healthy:
| Platform | BottomFeeder Downloads |
| Windows | 698 |
| Mac 8/9 | 339 |
| Linux x86 | 313 |
| HPUX | 289 |
| Sources | 253 |
| Mac X | 147 |
| CE ARM | 98 |
| Update | 82 |
| Windows98/ME | 33 |
| Linux Sparc | 24 |
| Solaris | 19 |
| AIX | 12 |
| SGI | 10 |
| Linux PPC | 7 |
| ADUX | 3 |
| Source Script | 2 |
Still demonstrates the value of having a cross platform tool available. I'm getting ready to move on that roadmap too, so a new release shouldn't be far off. Next - a look at the tools that hit the HTML blog pages:
| Tool | Percentage of Accesses |
| Internet Explorer | 56.1% |
| Mozilla | 37.8% |
| Other | 2.8% |
| Google Bot | 1.3% |
| BottomFeeder | 1% |
| Java | 1% |
That's interesting - I haven't had IE beat out Mozilla since I've been tracking. On the other hand, I got hammered with referral spam last week, and I bet that's the explanation. Finaly, let's see what happened with agents fetching the RSS feeds:
| Tool | Percentage of Accesses |
| Mozilla | 20.6% |
| BottomFeeder | 17.3% |
| Net News Wire | 13.7% |
| Other | 6.2% |
| SharpReader | 4.4% |
| NewsGator | 4% |
| Safari RSS | 4% |
| BlogLines | 3.6% |
| BlogSearch | 3.4% |
| Lilina | 2.2% |
| Planet Smalltalk | 1.9% |
| Internet Explorer | 1.8% |
| Java | 1.8% |
| Feed Demon | 1.8% |
| MSN Bot | 1.8% |
| Feed Reader | 1.7% |
| Magpie | 1.5% |
| Liferea | 1.5% |
| RSS Bandit | 1.4% |
| Opera | 1.4% |
| Python | 1% |
| Feed Tagger | 1% |
| JetBrains | 1% |
| Glucose | 1% |
Well, that supports my theory that the surge of IE hits is referer spam - it isn't reflected at all in the RSS stats. It's still a huge variety of tools in use though.
