Re: [uk-netmarketing] Re: UK Software Download Sites

If you are including un*x, etc., then http://src.doc.ic.ac.uk/ - better

known as "Sunsite Northern Europe" at Imperial College - gets a lot of

traffic, & I'm sure they will help you with figures if you ask them.


I think you also need to work out what your metrics are - i.e. are you

looking for megabytes / month, individual files downloaded, number of

visitors irrespective of actual usage, etc. - the answers are likely to be

very different.
