The Lord continues to bless our outreach, as shown by our bandwidth numbers below. Most of our stats are visible from the front page of BibleSupport.com--total number of files downloaded, total members, new members today, etc. One stat that isn't provided is our server bandwidth.

Bandwidth (in this case) refers to the amount of data sent by our server in a one month period (data sent to our server is another number). This data, or bandwidth, is measured in Gigabytes. (A gigabyte equals 1,000 megabytes. A CD holds about 650 megabytes. A DVD holds about 4.5 gigabytes.)

As you can see from the chart below, we're serving a LOT of e-Sword and MySword modules!



September, a partial month, is also shown above. With less than 5 days into September, and 10 gigs a day so far, we can estimate that September will exceed 300 gigs by month's end.

We're averaging 650 unique visitors per day (a visitor is counted only once per 24 hours, regardless of how many times they visit our site). Our traffic is coming from these sources (these numbers are totaled from the start of the site):


A big thank you to e-Sword.net (Rick Meyers) and DoctorDavet.com (Dr. Dave) for links on their sites, along with Karen Everest for donating e-Sword-users.org to our ministry.

Josh,
I think what your site does is it give a more definitive sense of reliability than what e-Sword users did. Moreover, I think that as a result of the ongoing issues that was there with e-Sword Users, it placed a huge question mark over it, and as such a great deal of dissatisfaction resulted. I know from experience, that perhaps my biggest problem was the uploading didn't work for me. So as to what the causation of that was, I don't know, and neither did Jonathon know.

Also, moreover, the waiting for the clearance of modules and resources to get onto the site was another issue, and would have tested even the patience angels

There is a marked difference on this where speed and reliability is important.

So Thanks for the great job you and your crew have done.

Blessings,
Stephen (Php 1:21).

YES! A hearty AMEN to that!

For myself Josh, the simplicity in which you manage this sites uploading ability makes it a real delight to post modules here. Apparently others have had issues, but not myself. Finish a module and slip it in...tis good!

I was surprised at the amount of bandwidth being used - and it's going to grow a lot in the months ahead.
