Description

MLData allows sorting datasets by downloads or views which is nice. Right now it looks like we can do neither.
There is a "downloads" count, but it only counts downloads via the web interface, I think, which seems a bit odd to me. I think we should count all downloads (though the bots might then dominate that).
So also looking at pageviews seems like a pretty good thing.

Research direction

Start by locating MLData's existing downloads count and dataset sorting path. Clarify whether all download sources should count and how page views should be measured; done means datasets can be sorted by downloads or views with agreed counting semantics.
