Launchpad "Downloads" area should provide download stats to project admins

We are doing the planning work on this (https://dev.launchpad.net/VersionThreeDotO/Registry/StoryCards#File%20releases%20download%20counters) and want to release in early 2009

SSO work takes priority over this, so I don't want to commit to this being done before 2.2.4.

This is the main reason I would want to move away from Launchpad. I have a small project currently only hosted on launchpad, so without a download count I have no indication of how much it is actually used.

Me too, I'm also moving all my downloads out of LaunchPad into google code or SourceForge just because the Download stats. It's a pitty LP team is not giving priority to this feature.

Work has begun on this feature. It is delayed because of the developers
are helping to prepare Launchpad's code to be relicensed as OSS. The
download counter is expect to be delivered in April.

Let pretend that this bug represent the UI portion of the download feature. We can say we are starting this when we start the UI.

Just curious but is there a time frame for this to be implemented?

This feature will again be delayed because the team is needed to work on other time sensitive items. Maybe we can divide the work into the infrastructure and UI to deliver this earlier than 2.6 as the team complete the time sensitive tasks.

Download counts are now exposed on the home page of product releases (e.g. https://edge.launchpad.net/plone/3.2/3.2.2)
There are a few more places where we want to expose them before we'll consider this bug closed. Comments/suggestions are appreciated.
BTW, we were only able to count downloads made from Feb 2009 onwards.

Looks great, though the 'Total' lacks the same comma formatting as the individual downloads.

Hi, thks for your progresses, altought I'm admin of babiloo project and I cannot see the stats in my project:

https://code.launchpad.net/babiloo/trunk/2.0.8

Best Regards.

While I understand that there will be some lag in processing librarian's Apache logs, there seems to be some strangeness in the web UI. If you look at the Plone 3.2.2 example that you used, the download counts are static, but some of the files say they were last downloaded just a second ago. A refresh shows exactly the same thing, which is impossible - if the file had been downloaded in the last second, the count would have increased.

Hi Ivan,

That's because the download stats is only available on
edge.launchpad.net, our beta server. You can see it at

 https://code.edge.launchpad.net/babiloo/trunk/2.0.8

You may also want to join the
https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-beta-testers/ team so that you are
automatically redirected to edge in the future.

That's a bug which I'd noticed already. It happens because we can only
tell the day (not the time) of downloads, so it makes no sense to try
and say how long ago a file was downloaded when all we know is that it's
been downloaded on the present day. I'll fix it tomorrow, together with
the small glitch that Sidnei reported.

Fixed released in Launchpad 2.2.6.
