33% of downloads are not unique?
« on: February 27, 2015, 04:20:19 pm »
What would the average be?  Seems high to me but then again It is a three hour show its probably people hitting play in browser and then moving to middle of podcast.

My podcast is Music In Widescreen - Progressive Rock Show.  Blubrry asked me to put that in here in their tweet.

FAQ on Blubrry statistics should answer this question: http://create.blubrry.com/resources/podcast-media-download-statistics/podcast-media-statistics-faq/

Totals are the Total number of times the file is downloaded.

Unique is how many unique IP addresses downloaded the file.  So if you downloaded it on your laptop, desktop and phone using the same internet connection, it would count as 3 Total downloads but only 1 unique download.

This accounts for the often occurring shared network connections found in wifi networks, like a McDonalds wifi hot spot, university, corporate network, mobile phone network, etc...
