I didn’t see anything come through on make.wordpress.org but now “Active Installs” is shown for plugins in the wordpress.org repository instead of downloads:

I initially thought this was just because I was logged in but it’s now the default. You can still see number of downloads by hopping over to the Stats page:

I think it was a good move. Download count says nothing about how many people are actually using the plugin, and wasn’t really a stat you could easily see before without adding your own tracking in.
