I was thinking today and I wondered if there was any place to see the stats on how many downloads of xyz packages there were through the portage system... Is there any place to view this? I'm curious b/c it would be cool to see what some of the more downloaded apps were - would be interesting to see what people are using the most. There may be some apps I never heard of and would like - such as htop which I just recently discovered through another Gentoo user.

Such a thing would be very hard to implement because of all the different servers you can download from. Not to mention some people set up personal distfiles servers for their network, etc. Also, people can use the same file on another computer making it useless to redownload, etc. ;)

yeah, just wasn't sure if maybe the servers were doing some sort of stat replication or something.
