In particular, GIT has been identified. Other requirements to be identified.

We have noted some strange behaviour in terms of download peaks. We believe some of it comes from robots indexing new projects. Further investigation of Apache logs should be done. Moreover, we have also noted some misuse of the download statistics (examples of images counting as downloads).
