[Qgis-psc] QGIS version stats and Traffic > 30 Tb on qgis2

[Richard Duivenvoorde]

Hi,

We received a note from Hetzner that we exceeded our (self set) 30Tb
traffix per month.
>From https://wiki.hetzner.de/index.php/Root_Server_Hardware/en I
conclude that we have 20Tb per month (and 1euro/TB for more).

I think/hope that it had something to do with the plugins.xml script
which I did not update for QGIS 3.8 and 3.9, meaning all requests for
plugins.xml?qgis=3.8 etc did a query on the db (OR were being served
over cloudflare, not sure):

https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Django/commit/93c34481ed2b61743a7c395118bb74fc1d10e2c9#diff-91b74cfd3dbbeceab86ba70bb7f2bff8

I also grepped-counted:
 grep "plugins.xml?qgis=" access.log | awk '{print $7}' | sort | uniq -c
(and cleaned up a little) the last access.log (like last  4 days) of
plugins.qgis.org to see the distribution of the QGIS versions:

      2 /plugins/plugins.xml?qgis=1.9.0
   1611 /plugins/plugins.xml?qgis=2.0
    305 /plugins/plugins.xml?qgis=2.2
    317 /plugins/plugins.xml?qgis=2.4
    865 /plugins/plugins.xml?qgis=2.6
   2221 /plugins/plugins.xml?qgis=2.8
    408 /plugins/plugins.xml?qgis=2.10
    669 /plugins/plugins.xml?qgis=2.12
   6374 /plugins/plugins.xml?qgis=2.14
   2277 /plugins/plugins.xml?qgis=2.16
  42303 /plugins/plugins.xml?qgis=2.18
   3921 /plugins/plugins.xml?qgis=3.0
   5374 /plugins/plugins.xml?qgis=3.2
  34072 /plugins/plugins.xml?qgis=3.4
  34317 /plugins/plugins.xml?qgis=3.6
    353 /plugins/plugins.xml?qgis=3.7
   6276 /plugins/plugins.xml?qgis=3.8
    220 /plugins/plugins.xml?qgis=3.9

(besides this there were a lot of sql injection trials by the way)

My conclusion: 2.18 is still being used A LOT :-)
