I noticed that there is a 'downloads' table in pearweb. Now that is not a problem, the problem is in the dl_who and dl_host fields. It is not allowed to collect this data in large parts of europe, so IMO we should drop these two fields from the table.Unless the user provided that information voluntarily or the information does not identify the user itself. AFAIK IP addresses do not identify people just by themselves. If that was forbidden, nobody could use store Web server logs. -- Regards, Manuel Lemos
