Manual downloads should count as downloads

[umarbutler]

Feature request

I would like to request that manual downloads of data files from Hugging Face dataset repositories count as downloads of a dataset. According to the documentation for the Hugging Face Hub, that is currently not the case: https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/en/datasets-download-stats

Motivation

This would ensure that downloads are accurately reported to end users.

We're unlikely to add more features/support for datasets with python loading scripts, which include datasets with manual download. Sorry for the inconvenience
