Web statistics at Arduino.cc
The Arduino Community keeps on growing … at an almost scary pace. The following are statistics taken during the last four months for the www.arduino.cc domain.
| Month | Unique visitors | Number of visits | Pages | Hits | Bandwidth |
| Jan 2008 | 79119 | 171226 | 1234208 | 3353618 | 309.10 GB |
| Feb 2008 | 91402 | 186886 | 1145305 | 3501393 | 344.04 GB |

The Arduino server registers an average of 7000 visits/day with a total traffic of 14GB/day. The way people visit the server is quite evenly distributed over the 24 hours of the day.

This second table shows that the most visited site in April was our forum, followed by the main site and the blog you are reading right now.
A quick analysis of the statistical data shows that there is obviously a huge amount of traffic because of people downloading the IDE. I wonder if people are having trouble with it and if we should consider to encourage people mirroring the IDE at some other places just to avoid long downloading times (opinions/ideas are welcome).
The other scary fact is that we got, on top of the normal visits, about 350.000 hits coming from web robots during April, this means the Arduino site has been replicated about 100 times (we have an estimate of the equivalent to 3400 static pages) at different webcrawlers just last month!!
