AFAIR on Aug 20 1995 the PAUSE pieces were assembled and running:
WU-FTP, an Apache, either 0.6.6 or 0.8.1, mirror, an mSQL database
with 53 authors and 35 modules, and a PAUSE daemon that worked like
the one today. One year later when PAUSE became the first publically
available mod_perl server I was in a very big hurry to have it in time
for the birthday. And then I posted somewhere the statistics (slightly
edited for readablilty):
20 Aug 1995 20 Aug 1996
Files: 35 201
Files-passed: 35 916
MB-passed: 0.5 68.1
Authors: 53 179
Files are the most recent versions of distribution files.
Foo-1.00 and Foo-1.01 count as one.
Files-passed are the distributions that have been passed
through PAUSE. Not the readmes and checksums and indices nor
those that went through more than once. Foo-1.00 and Foo-1.01
count as two.
MB-passed is the size of the files in the previous line in Megabytes.
