The website counts downloads but uses an deprecated call in the main REST API

Research direction
Start by tracing the website's JavaScript download request and identifying where it uses the deprecated main REST API. Then inspect the REST Data API path responsible for downloads and its current counting behavior. Done means the website uses the Data API and downloads are counted there; no files or tests are named in the issue.
