no - you have no clue which mirror was used without explicit tracking in 
YUM/DNF and given the noise about the recent Firefox changes you won't 
even consider seriously tracking inside the distribution

additionally downloads are meaningless - many setups with more than one 
machine have their local mirrors and a download can be 1, 10 or 50 
installed instances
