Quick system question

LonelyDad ๐Ÿšซ

I was looking at my account and checking into when I need to renew. I saw that I have been enjoying SOL for 17 years! I also saw I have done 38k downloads. I am assuming that is chapters because I know I don't have that many stories on my system.

I have done 38k downloads

That amounts to about 1 short story. If you didn't miss read it, there is something wrong.

?
38k downloads is 38,000 downloads. 38kB would amount to one short story.

I think downloads in this case is essentially stories (or maybe chapters) read, not specifically downloaded for offline reading.

That number is the sum of daily story access counts.

If you read 10 different stories in a day, even if each story is 200 chapters, that would count as 10. That number gets cleared once every 24 hours, so let's say Monday you access 10 stories (short story, long story, download EPUB, etc... each count as 1 access) and then Tuesday you access 20, Wed 30, Thurs 5, Friday 25, then on Saturday after the counters reset your total will be 90.

It doesn't matter how many times you access or reload the same story in one day, or how many of its chapters you read, or if you download it after reading chapter 2, all that counts as 1.

If I download a story today and then download the same story a week from today, is my count for that story 1 or 2?

@Mat Twassel

My understanding reading this is, if you read a chapter (or two, or whatever) a day of the same long story, it will count everyday anew, your download count increase from it effectively counting how many days you spend reading the whole thing.

If you read 10 200-chapter stories in a day you are a bot.

That's how they "train" AI, on massive amounts of text. When is someone going to feed "Arlene and Jeff" (selected because it's the longest story I know of here) into a bot?

@Dinsdale

"Arlene and Jeff" (4.19MW*) is the largest story, but it's not that much bigger than "Six Times A Day" (4.12MW) or "Three Square Meals" (3.91MW).

The top two stories are both just over 4.1MW, the third and fourth largest are over 3.5MW, the fifth is 3.47MW and the sixth drops all the way down to 2.6MW.

*MW=MegaWords=1,000,000 words

@LonelyDad

That's about 6.12 stories / serial read or continued each day.
