I did a download count analysis on PyPi's projects, and found something interesting.

There is a significant jump in the number of downloads of PyPi projects from July 2018 to August 2018.

I saw that that's around the time when PyPI migrated to a new backend, Warehouse, in late April 2018. Might this affect the number of download counts? If so, how?

If anyone has any answers, that would be great. Thanks!

You can try to ask at warehouse.
Can't see why this is relevant now,i know that that made a new JSON Api to shift out old XMLRPC API,
that may have been around that time and could maybe have some some affect on stats back then.
