Description
Anywhere we display download metrics -- root dataverse pg, dataset pg (dataset level and file table), file pg -- there is a "0 Downloads" displayed for unpublished objects. This is misleading. As a data owner (my local dev environment), I had to click download on one of my files in an unpublished dataset to determine if the metrics count would change. It did not. That made me wonder if it was broken.
The "0 Downloads" for unpublished objects should be hidden, or changed to display a short message that explain metrics are only tracked for published objects.

Research direction
Review the download-metrics displays on the root dataverse page, dataset page, and file page, including the dataset-level and file-table views. Verify how unpublished objects currently show “0 Downloads,” then make the display explain or omit metrics that are only tracked for published objects.
