#FDroid is consistently growing in its bandwidth usage over the years, as shown by this stats graph from the #UniFAU mirror. Interesting to see the short downward section when we added new official mirrors in April and November.
Thanks @FAU for the mirror, the bandwidth, and the stats! https://ftp.fau.de/cgi-bin/show-ftp-stats.cgi
@eighthave @FAU Nice! We also publish some stats for the mirrors hosted by tetaneutral.net, in French here: https://lists.tetaneutral.net/pipermail/technique/2023-October/004537.html
I can confirm the regular growth for F-Droid :)
@zorun @FAU thanks for running your #mirror too! I hadn't seen your stats posts before, that's interesting to see. The current algorithm for choosing mirrors is random, so I wonder why ftp.fau.de sees 8TB/day while tetaneutral sees 1.4TB/day? I guess ftp.fau.de's stats might also include rsync, and many mirrors rsync from ftp.fau.de. This might also explain the steeper decline in November: a couple mirrors switched away from ftp.fau.de to rsyncing from primary mirrors.
@zorun @FAU https://mirror.level66.network/ is one of the new mirrors that was added in November, it also has some basic stats. As far as I can tell, there is only total numbers for the mirror. We're on track to more than double that mirror's bandwidth usage since /fdroid/ was added
@zorun @FAU After including https://mirror.level66.network/ as an official #FDroid mirror, bandwidth usage went from 35-40 Mbit/s to 80-85 Mbit/s
@zorun @FAU any chance you could post your stats to JSON files on the mirror server?
