I would be interested, but only at a reasonable price. I could "rough"
such a utility out with no UI and only the coarse stats I need in a couple
hours or so. Serv-U only costs $25 itself, so I'd hope your reporting tool
would also be moderately priced. If so, yes, we'd probably buy a couple
copies if it gives the stats we need.
Consider offering a demo version, one that analyses only a small number of
k of log file.

If you hear of another one, please let me know. I do this by hand right
now. I was the one that made the suggestion to Rob Beckers about making
the session ID's in his logs equal lengths -- now I can simply SORT the log
file, and I have a basic utility that counts the bytes transferred.
Before he made it line up so it was sortable, it was a royal PITA.
