This trend can be observed with individual packages too:

See here: https://github.com/pypa/linehaul/issues/30

The previous iteration of linehaul was flapping and dropping a significant number of download records. You can see in that thread that the new version was deployed on July 26, which has since provided much more reliable data.

Makes sense. Thanks for the explanation.

Anticipating others may have the same question, I suggest we keep the issue open for some time. But if you prefer to close it, that would also work for me.

crflynn commented 6 years ago

I'll keep it open for now. What I really should do is add an FAQ page.

crflynn commented 6 years ago

I've added an FAQs page just now, so I'm going to go ahead and close this issue.
