Studies LH014

Below the fifty most downloaded Python projects, does a new newest version reach half of its project's downloads within two days as a rule, and does its share settle by day 2?

The answer so far. Not as a rule in either band, by the brief's convention; the share of projects whose new releases mostly reached half of downloads within two days falls from the top fifty to each band below it. The share of a new release still settles by day 2 as a rule in band A, and for some projects in band B.
