If I understand it well, you can find this number at https://rubygems.org/gems/rubygems-update (since that's the package behind update). |

rubygem-update is one of the sources of rubygems download. Ideally we would want to know users per version.
related usecase is being discussed here #1335 please leave your comments on that thread. You can see approx numbers here as well https://ecosystem.rubytogether.org/ |

This small proposal is a feature request concerning the following URL:
It is proposed herein that a "statistics" information is added to that page.
With that I mean a "tell users how many downloads occurred per gem
release", roughly.
It does not have to be 100% accurate, but may group it into
"n thousands" downloads aka "560.000 downloads approximately"
or something like that.
For instance, for the current gem version v3.3.13, that page could
either have a new sub-link, such as:
Or, if that is too much work, then perhaps simply display it on
the bottom, such as:
"There have been about 503.000 downloads of gem version 3.3.13
so far."
Or something like that.
Rationale: this is mostly just a short visual information for the
user. It may also help to see which gem versions are more popular
than others. Perhaps weekly download counter may be even better
BUT I wanted to keep this proposal simple, so to distill it in
its simplicity into a TL;DR variant, it can be summarized as
follows:
"Consider adding a small download-counter number per gem version
for the webpage at https://rubygems.org/pages/download/."
