Given this change on mirrors, the person maintaing: http://www.apache.org/~vgritsenko/stats/projects/cocoon.html needs either to delete the graph on downloads (as it is misleading by nature of omitting relevant data), or upgrade the mechanism whereby it is created so as to properly reflect all mirror site data - I don't believe that the graph as it stands is "somewhat indicative" of activity.

Due to this simple fact, and due to the fact that, starting sometime in April, Cocoon uses mirroring system, we were able to achieve HUGE improvements in bandwidth utilitzation: http://www.apache.org/~vgritsenko/images/trend-weekly-project-cocoon-bytes.png And since then, count of downloads: http://www.apache.org/~vgritsenko/images/trend-weekly-project-cocoon-downloads.png does not mean much; it is just somewhat indicative of the actual amount of downloads: you have to multiply this number onto count of the mirrors. OTOH, page views is the real number which can be taken as a measure of "popularity".
