The activities of the PAL mirror sites in California, Paris, and
Virginia have already been excluded from the above counts.

The above counts present low estimates of the actual activity; these
counts do NOT include Gopher transfers from the CDROM.COM mirror or
any transfers from the SW-ENG mirror (it has not yet been announced
to users).  They do NOT include FTP mail and remote NFS mounts from the
main site at WUARCHIVE.WUSTL.EDU.  They also do NOT include CDROM
distributions.  They do NOT include any transfers from CNAM or SW-ENG
(data not available).

The raw data and activity logs associated with these activities are
located in the tree ada/userdocs/activity in the PAL.
