I actually wrote about this recently and my response to the original never posted to the list because, apparently, email is hard.

https://www.chef.io/blog/2015/01/21/those-pesky-supermarket-download-counts/ is the post you will want to go take a look at.

Thanks Christopher for your answer, nevertheless this counter is misleading, something should be done.

If someone doesn't know the story behind the download counter, for sure think: this cookbook should be almost perfect, if there are so many downloads.

I spent 2 days before I understood that a cookbook with about *16 million downloads* was heavily bugged.

Instead to wait that berkshelf-api servers to run more efficiently, the rules behind that download counter should change.

May be split the number of download done by a person from the number of automatic downloads (HTTP User Agents).
