I'm not sure if you can see this in our logs or not (you might have to
have the individual mirrors logs :( ), but if the response code is a
206, that means it was a RANGE request - to download part of a file.
It's not at all uncommon for a download manager to open 20-30
connections to download the same file for the same user.,
So I'd opt for the conservative approach of uniques as well.
To clarify, I'm already filtering these out on a 302 code. How would
that change your opinion, if at all?
