Keeping stats for Folding

488 Views 15 Replies 12 Participants Last post by  H3||scr3am
I have wanted to do this for a while but now i finally have. Me and a mate have written a little php script to download the stats and put them into my own database. From today onwards i will be keeping a FULL record of every user and team! Taking up masses of hard disk space but its worth it!

Cool.
But why?
I'm doing it for fun and to see how much folding is growing. Also as was said makes a cool database but ive done 8 updates and it is already 144mb! If anyone has any suggestions as to what to do with the data they will be much appreciated!

I am using just a simple downloader to pull the data every 3 hours. It is a freeware version, cant think of the name at the moment. It has had issue so I will likely just write something simple myself.
I have been running it since before christmas. The update files are about 11mb in size, and unzip to about 27mb. Running it 8 times per day will take about 90mb of space to store the zips. I have close to 7gig of update files at the momement that I need to get imported into a MS SQL Server for some reports. Of course I have been busy, so the drive will have to just keep growing.

Mine is written in PHP. Me and a mate did it. The only thing we are stuggling with is gettiing it to rund automatically every three hours.
On the size of the files, the teams data is around 2mb each time and the user data is 33mb.
are you running it on a linux machine? If so just schedule a cronjob for every 3 hours. Alternatively you could just set up a scheduled task to view the php file, This should help.

You can download the history of any user or team from EOC.

I'd make it so that you could integrate the PHP script into a website like this and keep live updates on the folding team scores within the PHP structure of the site
that'd be awesome
so we could get live updates in the GPU team ranks etc...
