Bytes may appear as Bytes, KBytes (1,024 bytes), MBytes (1,048,576 bytes), GigaBytes (1,073,741,824), TeraBytes (about 1,099,511,000,000 bytes), or PetaBytes (about 1,125,899,900,000,000 bytes) Indicates the number of bytes of data transferred during the indicated time period or in response to requests that correspond to the current report entry This total does not incude data sent as part of the HTTP headers
Bytes are typically a sequence of eight bits put together to create a single computer alphabetical or numerical character The size of a file being transmitted on the Internet is normally measured in Bytes, unlike transmission rates that are conventionally measured in bits
The unit of measure used by computers In essence one character =1 byte It should be noted, a true kilobyte is actually slightly more than 1000 bytes, without looking it up, we think it is 1,056 bytes to a kilobyte If anyone can verify that, it would be appreciated We suppose multiplying by 1,000 is much easier than multiplying by 1,056
A generic term developed by IBM to indicate a measurable number of consecutive binary digits which are usually operated upon as a unit Bytes of eight bits ("by eight") usually represent either one character or two numerals A computer's storage capacity or memory is figured in kilobytes (K or KB): one K is actually 1,024 (2 to the 16th power) bits
The bytes statistic counts the number of total bytes for all hits of a given object For example, assume a page is one kilobyte in size, and ten hits occur on that page This would result in 10 kilobytes for the bytes statistic [Note: some web servers are not configured to record the bytes statistic in their log files If this is the case, the byte statistic will be 0]
The number of bytes served to clients (browsers) by the web server This is most important if the number of bytes served per month exceeds your current allocation based on your class of service It also gives you an indication of the "cost" of your web site relative to the value delivered to the viewer If the GIF and JPG bytes are thousands of time higher than the actual HTML pages, you are making your viewer wait a long time to get a small amount of information
A measurement of the amount of digitally stored or carried information, used to measure memory and document size To be precise a byte is a grouping of binary digits representing information, a set of 8 bits making up a manageable unit of memory The capacity of a floppy disk is measured in kilobytes (KB) (one kilobyte = 1024 bytes) and a hard disk in megabytes (MB) or gigabytes (GB) (one megabyte = 1024 kilobytes) A high capacity hard disk is necessary for those who wish to store numerous image (or similar memory-hungry) files but less necessary for those working solely on text documents; it will not significantly affect performance It is the RAM capacity of a computer that affects the speed and efficiency of the machine 32 megabytes of RAM is usually adequate for most simple computing tasks
A set of 8bits make up a byte and a byte represents one character (letter, number, symbol) Multiples of this are Kilobytes - 1,024Bytes, Megabytes - 1,000Kilobytes, Gigabytes - 1,000Megabytes This is used to represent several types of computer space, which confuses people to no end The size of a computer file and therefore the amount of space required to: Use it - memory (RAM) space - the capacity of the RAM chips in your computer, on your video card, etc Store it - Drive storage space - on floppy disks, tape cartridges and hard disk drives N B If you don't have enough memory or disk drive space, you can't use the file or store it
A unit of data A byte is a collection of Bits, usually in multiples of eight More often referred to in larger multiples, hence kilobytes (k) are 1024 bytes and megabytes (M or MB) are 1024k
The number of bytes sent on behalf of a file This number is not necessarily just the numer of valid requests multiplied by the size of the file, because often, when a request is made, the server tells the browser to use the previously downloaded copy of the file that is presently stored in the browser's cache In that case, the server actually returns 0 bytes for a valid request
