previous versions was terrible - The new PDF output is much better; We could
not find a suitable component to convert the Html reports to Word and Excel;
The formats Of Word and Excel are different between version; Word and Excel
can now read html formats; The information can also be cut from the
displayed reports and pasted into Word and Excel. - Make sure that you use

Changes to SurfStats Live
Real-Time Web Site Statistics Reporting Server V2009.8.1
- Fixed a
bandwidth discrepancy between reports. To get the same bandwidth between
reports, you have to set the program to "Count Spiders as visitors" under
Options when you edit a site profile. Due to assumptions that we had to
make, it is not possible to split visitors and spiders bandwidth. If you do
not count spiders as visitors, the bandwidth reports will not tie up and and
can only be used as a general ball park indicator.

maintenance enhancements.
