Hi the list
Is there a way to know how many times an R package (on CRAN) has
been download ?
No, or at least not a comprehensive number. The question came up and
was discussed in March last year. Search term "popular".:

The was considerable disagreement about the validity of any such
number. This is Dirk's offering, which I assume is specific to Debian
and appears to be the only data offered:
http://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=r-base
More generally, it was stated that the CRAN mirroring mechanism does
not support data collection of this sort. (But it appears that the
UCLA server may be an exception.)
