Project Download Stats
Projects hosted at Eclipse.org can track download requests and issue queries for statistical and trending purposes. There are two mechanisms to record a download request:
- For ZIP file downloads, using the mirrors
- For p2 repositories, using Equinox p2 download stats
ZIP files
When linking to a ZIP file on download.eclipse.org, projects must use mirrors. The link would look like this:
http://eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/path/to/file.zip
where /path/to/file.zip is the path relative to download.eclipse.org. When a user picks a mirror site, the download request is automatically logged.
Equinox p2 download stats
To enable download stats on your p2 repository, please see Equinox p2 download stats
Querying the database
Log into the MyFoundation portal, and use the [tools] for all Committers option of the Eclipse Projects portlet.
Enter a partial filename to search for, relative to the downloads area. The broader the search, the longer it will take to return results, so try to identify the core files that make up one user download. Use the % (percentage) as a wildcard to substitute multiple characters, or the _ (underscore) wildcard to substitute one character. You don't need to use % at the beginning or the end.
Sample filenames:
/tools/emf/downloads/drops/2.0.1/R : All 2.0.1 release build files (ending wildcard assumed) webtools%1.0.1%zip : All Webtools 1.0.1 zip files eclipse-SDK%3.2.2 : All the eclipse SDK ZIP files for release 3.2.2 /birt%1.0%zip : All birt 1.0 zip files
If you need suggestions for your download stats, please contact the webmaster.
