[OSM-dev] Tile acess statistics?

[Nathan Vander Wilt]

I'm trying to estimate bandwidth and storage requirements for a potential project, and was hoping I could find info on OSM tile usage patterns.

What I'm wondering is how the distribution of "all tiles" to "tiles that people actually use" looks like. Questions like e.g. "Are there some tiles that are pretty much never accessed?" "What percent of tiles are very frequently accessed?" "What are the most active cities/countries/etc.?" (I'm sure I'll think of more questions as I get further along, but that's basically the kinds of stats I'd like to be able to play with.)

I found some older User Agent statistics here:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Stats#Tile_usage_stats

And an even older script that uses the access log here:
http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/dev/2009-November/017651.html

...but I cannot find any link to the actual access logs used for those statistics. Are there recent "raw"/anonymized logs available for community number crunching experiments?

thanks,
