I think it's a little bit confusing to have Downloads
badge in general README because it's not clear what these "downloads" mean: GitHub releases, Python-package, R-package, or something else.
UPD: For instance, CRAN badge has the same appearance: https://cranlogs.r-pkg.org/badges/grand-total/devtools?color=blue

Just replaced issue count badge with number of releases downloads. I think issue badge was useless, because one can see number of issues upper at the same page.

it seems the number of release download is very low. I guess most users use pip, or clone then build by themself.

Agree! 33k during more than 2 years...
Maybe JARs will increase downloads count...

I think it is better to remove the download counts of release.
