Abstract
The present invention teaches a system and method for estimating the degree of completeness for large file downloads measured through redirects, without access to complete media server logs. According to a first preferred embodiment, the present invention provides accurate download counts by using data from redirect server logs, along with samples of the media server-side logs. According to a further preferred embodiment, the present invention teaches a system and method for sampling networked media servers hosting similar media files to determine approximate download completeness.
