Thank you. This is somewhat of a learning opportunity for me. I hit all the generic Internet health sites and I understand that there IS an issue. Now I'm getting to learn how you guys attempt to understand WHY we had an issue.

But my point is the same. If this is the case than the entire month of November reflects "instability" where I see transitions from 600k to 1M between updates. Yet we didn't experience the same negative customer experience for those. So how do you see the difference with todays events? Digging into files now.

So the file size was 30% higher implies that the number of updates is larger and therefore there is instability? I see the 
logic but if you scroll thru that page (the whole month of November) there are tons of>1M files. Trying to see what is 
different about today....
This is an easy benchmark to gauge overall stability.  Large files mean something was unstable.  Then you need to 
actually look at them to see *why*.  Also since the files are compressed you lose some visibility into what is really 
in them.
