While there's probably some interest in and use of "archived" versions (e.g., compatibility), my sense is that "archived" packages may be overrepresented in the CRAN download logs. I would think they would be rare and occasional rather than regular and frequent. While related to #45, in this case I'm referring to instances where "archived" packages are downloaded in their entirety. Below are two examples. Try other dates (e.g. "2019-12-06", "2019-12-08") and packages (you may have to look up the current version).
vars <- c("date", "time", "size", "version", "ip_id")
date <- "2019-12-04"
For convenience's sake, "archived" refers to either past versions of current, active packages or all versions of inactive packages found at https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/
