How to find out how many people have downloaded from PPAs [duplicate]
Solution 1:
This has been a long-standing request and is available if you know about the Launchpad WebService API. This may be available via the standard launchpad webpages but as yet has not been implemented.
If you are already familiar with the webservice API, then you can use the following binary_package_publishing_history object methods to retrieve the information:
getDailyDownloadTotals getDownloadCount getDownloadCounts

Solution 2:
No, that means it has built (compiled and packaged) its packages 108 times.
There's no logging in Launchpad that lets you know how many times a package has been downloaded. At least not logging that is publically available.
