Description
The Show Percentage of Complete Downloads (downloadpercentage) option indicates that
Wusage should display the percentage of complete downloads for each document
mentioned in the Top Documents (documents)
and Documents by Directory (directories) reports.
This requires that the program fetch and analyze each unique web page
mentioned in the web server log, which does take additional time although
it is a well-optimized operation with acceptable performance.
The percentage of complete downloads is the percentage of attempted accesses
which actually succeeded in obtaining all components of the document
in question, including images, frames, and so forth. If a page
contains 20 images,
and the visitor requests only 15 of them, this counts as an
incomplete download. If all 20 images are requested,
but the program can determine that the images were not completely sent,
this is also an incomplete download. If the user obtains the
page only, and NO components at all are requested, this is considered
a complete download from a text-based browsing device,
indexing agent, web-exploring robot, et cetera. This method is valid because
graphics-capable browsers will virtually always attempt to request at
least one component of the page. The percentage of
complete downloads for an individual image takes into account
instances in which the image should have been requested but was not,
such as a case in which a page containing the image is requested and
that particular image is not requested. Again, if the page is accessed
but none of its components are requested, this does not
count as a failed attempt to obtain the image.
A web page is defined
as a URL that matches the pages object type. For more information,
see object types.

Documents by Directory (directories)
