Download Counter

11/23/06 - Added several more intelligent counters.

11/21/06 - Added ask.com searches to the count exclusion. So now I exclude googlebot, msnbot, 'Yahoo! Slurp', Jeeves/Teoma, crawler@noxtrum.com, and 'Gigabot/2.0' from the total download count. I also removed my own IPs from the logs. That was another 6%.

5/6/06 - Removed the bot entries from the logs. That was about 22 percent of the count.
