[Motiftools-users] Web site statistics and download counters are disabled.

[Jeffrey L. F. <jf...@tg...>]

Hi Xmt Users,

We have recently announced a new release of Xmt and you may be wondering
how is it that the download counters for this release always show zero.

The reason is that the Source Forge hosting web site statistics for
Motiftools.org and all 15,000+ projects on Source Forge have been
disabled since the later weeks in December of '2000. That is also the
reason that the original Xmt release stopped showing incremental downloads,
although they have been occuring.

Source Forge is working on the problem. The original implementation did not
scale and was not reporting accurately. The new implementation will fix that
but it is not ready to be enabled at this time. 

We have not been advised by Source Forge as to the restoration strategy
regarding statistics during the time that this feature was disabled.
We don't know if this information will be restored, or if this information
is lost. Time will tell.

I will advise when the statistics have been fixed and enabled. Please be
assured that there are downloads occuring every day even though the counters
show zero. This is also evident by the project activity indicators, which have
been increasing daily since the new release announcement.
