Bug Description
Now that download stats are being collected, we can start to display them in Launchpad's web UI. There's a few things that we could do:
1. Display the most popular PPAs by "heat" on the main PPAs index page (/ubuntu/+ppas). Mark Shuttelworth proposes a simple "heat" metric such as:
5 flames: top 1% PPA in the past 6 months
4 flames: top 10%
3 flames: top 25%
2 flames: top 50%
1 flame: top 75%
damp squib: less.
(only count them for the latest version of any package in there, so you can't fudge it by rapid-fire publishing)
2. On a PPA's overview page:
* show its daily download totals, possibly with a nice graph.
* show total download count for all packages ever published, again maybe with a graph
3. On a PPA's package page, show download totals for individual packages

Sounds good to me. In what concerns individual packages, I think it might be worth adding a column to the package list (i.e. https:/ /launchpad. net/~zyv/ +archive/ ppa ) with a total number of downloads of the files associated with the package.
In the detailed list view, I think, one can add download counts in parenthesis after the sizes of the individual files: https:/ /launchpad. net/~zyv/ +archive/ ppa/+packages . I.e. mc_4.7. 0.9.orig. tar.gz (3.8 MiB, 123 downloads)
