How NPM measures downloads
NPM measures the downloads of your package, not on the basis of how many people install your package, but how many times NPM fetches the page of your npm registry which is them uses to download your package. So, if you were to fetch the pages again and again, theoretically, you could increase the downloads of your package.
The script
//https://registry.npmjs.org/nlr/-/nlr-0.0.1.tgz
const axios = require("axios");
var a = 0;
setInterval(addDL, 1);
function addDL() {
axios
.get("https://registry.npmjs.org/nlr/-/nlr-0.0.1.tgz")
.then((response) => {
a++;
console.log(`Added ${a} Downloads!\n`);
});
}
addDL();
To use this script, just change the name to your package name in the registry URl
