8 years ago Just noting that dns/dht/signalhubs dont have to any download speed data or the other stats. The only thing they know if how many peers are sharing a dat (ish). They also do not know the dat key but only a discovery token. This is by design to protect the privacy of our users.

I should be able to see live and/or historical statistics about a dat
This could initially (version 1.0) include a dashboard of live statistics about
of peers
of downloads
of bytes total downloaded/uploaded
of bytes per file downloaded/uploaded
In Version 2.0, you can imagine a stats server that is storing 'events' each time a peer connects or a download happens, which includes the timestamp, so you could do these same analytics over time.
In Version 3.0, maybe we could stand up this server for all of the dats that are public/open (maybe after we have user accounts).
Just a note: I don't think it'd be a good idea to collect and publish data analytics from our dns/dht/signalhubs on all dats because some of them will be private and might not consent to that... but if we had a checkbox in the desktop app to 'send statistics' that someone could opt-in to, I'd feel ok with it!
