What do Package Statistics in Nuget.org mean?

Question

I was looking at my nuget package statistics on nuget.org and I can see that the vast majority of downloads are from "Unknown" operations via "Other" clients.

Does anyone know what they mean?

p.s. is this the right SE site for the question? I couldn't find/create nuget tag in others.

Answer 1

I would guess that unknown operations performed via other clients stand for direct access to the nupkg file with HTTP client that is not identified as NuGet i.e. such tools can be used by third party services like nudoq.org or some search engines. But if you want to be sure you should ask at Nuget discussion board.
