Hi, I recently released two packages (RndTexExams and GetTDData) in CRAN and I'm trying to track the number of downloads and location of users. I wrote a simple script to download and analyze the log files in http://cran -logs.rstudio.com. I realized, however, that during the release of a new version of the packages there is a spike in the number of downloads. I believe that the CRAN checks are included in the number of installations of the package in the log files.
I don't think that's true. Why would CRAN be installing the package from a mirror? Hadley
