Popular torrent site mininova.org released some stats on their downloads. They have apparently reached the 2 *billion* download mark.   TV shows appear to have been most of that at 40%,  followed by music and movies, 21% and 17.89% respectively.    I guess that throws more fuel on the TV over internet fire.  If only there were a legal DRM free, high quality way to see my favorite shows online. It would be even better if it were ad supported, but paid and drm free is fine by me too.

Google Online Security blog shows that Apache leads in the webserver market, pretty much everywhere but Asia.  Online in China / Korea does IIS show a larger marketshare.  I guess I’m not suprised there.  Anyone know anything about nginx?  It appears it comes in as 3rd most popular in these stats from Google.  I’ve never heard of it, but it appears to be under a BSD style license and run on Linux, Windows and OSX.

A few months back I convinced Orv Beach the SCALE Publicity Chair to interview Stu about the SCALE network setup.   After some calling around, NetworkWorld / LinuxWorld picked it up.   If you are interested in learning what is involved with building the SCALE network infrastructure it out.  Also digg it if you have a moment.

I briefly disabled greylisting on my mail server last night, and found that spam increased almost immediately and dropped .  Cleary greylisting still works.   However, when I first setup greylisting about 2 - 3 years ago, it stopped almost all spam.  These days a trickle has started to make it through, and I’ll need to start adding spamassassin rules again to clean that up.
