There are searchable archives of this list at

You'll need to define your criteria.  I find Webalizer (http://www.webalizer.com/) to
be a fine product.  See the URL for details.  It's doesn't offer the full level of
detail of some other products, but it is perfect for the needs of 95% of my users.
Plus it's easy to configure and modify, is not a resource hog and it's *free*.

I believe LiveStats is configured so that stats are updated every few minutes.  I
usually update Webalizer using a cron job every 12 or 24 hours, though it can
certainly be updated more frequently if necessary.  I am not really familiar with the
features of LiveStats so I can't offer a comparison - other than I believe it costs
$400 or $500 versus $0 for Webalizer.  Other products you may want to look at which
will run on a RaQ3 are Sane's NetTracker and Wusage.
