My server (BSD/Unix/apache) presents the raw logs in two file types for download: access_log and access_log.txt. Both contain the same data and can be used by Analog. What would be a reason for two file types? Any advantages in using one over the other?

The only reason I can think of is that the .txt extension is widely recognized by many editors as a text file, so it is easily opened because your editor knows what to do with a .txt file.
I would use the access_log file as input to any program, and the .txt file if I was browsing with an editor.
