Hi,

I looked at the download counts retrieved via the function
cran_downloads in the package cranlogs. According to the documentation,
download counts from the RStudio CRAN mirror are retrieved.

Are requests from other mirrors included, or can each download count be
interpreted as a download from a real user?

I think the answer to both questions is "no". RStudio doesn't know what happens on other mirrors, and lots of automatic tests would download from RStudio's mirrors.
