I wanted to double check, what is the difference between “Number of Routers” and “Number of Descriptors”?

I know Number of Routers means number of relays currently running.



"Descriptors" usually means "relay details, signed by relays".
They are usually kept by the authorities for a week after they are created
and uploaded by relays.

But I don't know where to find the documentation or code for that site to confirm.

It says at the bottom of the page:

But that site is down.
