Counter@Home: somebody sure has been hitting it hard today!

[titanmiller]

Its going up like a rocket at the moment!
Up to 378169!
I update my stats page and boy was today a good day!
I just crunched the numbers and 4/9 yielded 216234 results (approx 24 hours)!

Gotta' get working on that homepage.

It ain't me, cause I'm on dialup, but I've been helping out a bit on and off throughout the day.

This is a fun project because it doesn't take up any CPU cycles from the other stuff I do...or does it?

It might have been me. I've been running it half the day, at school. I imagine they wouldn't mind me looking at a web page.

I am going to pwn your project.:evil:

EDIT: 500k now

We have broken through 1 million now!!!!

I run it a school too, they have a pretty good connection and it doesnt slow down what I am doing.

Is there a way to set up the counter image so that multiple paths go to the same counter? I.E. Can you go to the counter site, and do a soft link from /wc/-d/4/Counter@Home to /wc/-d/4/Counter2@Home, /wc/-d/4/Counter3@Home, /wc/-d/4/Counter4@Home, etc? I ask because if you could, you could set up one page with all four, five, etc. of those, and they'd use the same TCP connection, so TCP wouldn't have to slow start for each download. If you don't use different names, most browsers will just download the image once.

I think that if you repeat the address with WGet (from GNU, remember) I believe this TCP keep-alive occurs:

counter.bat code:
:while
wget -O- http://208.209.2.110/wc/-d/4/Counter@Home http://208.209.2.111/wc/-d/4/Counter@Home http://208.209.2.112/wc/-d/4/Counter@Home http://208.209.2.113/wc/-d/4/Counter@Home http://208.209.2.110/wc/-d/4/Counter@Home http://208.209.2.111/wc/-d/4/Counter@Home http://208.209.2.112/wc/-d/4/Counter@Home http://208.209.2.113/wc/-d/4/Counter@Home http://208.209.2.110/wc/-d/4/Counter@Home http://208.209.2.111/wc/-d/4/Counter@Home http://208.209.2.112/wc/-d/4/Counter@Home http://208.209.2.113/wc/-d/4/Counter@Home > NUL
goto while

That's 12 of the same URL. Note that this current version also prevents writing a file to the disk.
Edit: I just noticed that counter.digits.com resolves to four different IPs. So now I'm even load balancing!

If you can figure it out, go for it, I'm too stupid.
