Right now, chunks count as distinct uploads, so someone uploading one file in chunks may generate 50/50, or 49/50, if they decide to finish early. [...] Any suggestions on how to make the numbers more meaningful? | A hopefully simple way of expressing uploads would multiply the number of chunks transferred by the chunk size and dividing that product by the total size of the file. This value would give the number of times the full file was transferred. This method assumes the chunk size is always the same and the counter distinguishes between chunks at the fixed size and other transfers.
Example:
A 4,000 K file has 100 uploads at 98 K so 9,800 K transferred. Therefore the entire file transferred 2.5 times (9800/4000=2.45). Including a decimal place may hint that this value is an estimate and not a simple count. |
