I thought the list of most installed packages you sent before was the basis to decide this. This can be compared with the list given in the sourceforge site but it's a bit hard to analyze since packages are released at different times. If someone decides to analyze it properly, consider that for a long time sourceforge decided to chose what was the best file to download based on the OS it thought the user was which means the octave binaries rather than the packages. I have changed this a few months ago to be the last package uploaded. This caused an increase on the number of packages being downloaded. This number decreases after a different package being uploaded which suggests that many people just click on whatever shows up on the "download latest release" at the homepage when looking for the actual octave binaries and doesn't actually mean they want that package. Also, not sure if downloading with the -forge flag on pkg shows up on the sourceforge statistics. Still, the packages with most downloads seem to be control, signal, miscellaneous and image.
