Specifically we use Nginx to host the GeekSpeak website. Nginx writes log files. But the differnt clients (iOS Safari/audio player section, Chrome, web browsers and such) do different things when downloading files. Some result in a http code of 200, and some do multiple 206 codes. And it is difficult to figure out counts.
