Hello,

a couple of months ago I have published my private dataset and I have left it unused because of some health problems.  
However, today I logged in and I saw that that private dataset has 15 downloads for the last month. I haven’t downloaded the dataset, not even once, and yet the stats says: 15.

What is going on here? Does someone else have access to my PRIVATE dataset, or this is a website issue?

The dataset is a product of many many hours of work and I would rather delete my account here and never ever visit hugging face, rather than having it accessible by others!!!

It seems like the download counter itself is acting a little erratic??

Thank you @John6666  
My concern is about the private access of my dataset, which I thought is compromised. 42M entries are not that easy to collect, and I can’t even imagine it leaked.

Thank you once again, I will sleep better now.

Best regards, L.
