A tool to promote your npm packages and boost their download counts through automated strategies.
MIT License
A tool designed to simulate package downloads and increase the popularity score of npm packages, inspired by npm-downloads-increaser. This enhanced version allows developers to test and analyze the impact of download counts on package visibility and ranking within the npm ecosystem, with added support for packages not found in npms.io and several new features.
This tool is intended for educational and testing purposes only. Artificially inflating download counts may violate npm's terms of service. Use responsibly and at your own risk.
Install npm-increaser-downloads
globally using npm:
npm install -g npm-increaser-downloads
or
npx npm-increaser-downloads
You can run npm-increaser-downloads in two ways:
nid
This will prompt you for the necessary configuration options.
nid [options]
Available options:
-p, --package-name <name>
: NPM package to increase the downloads of-n, --num-downloads <number>
: Number of times to download the package-m, --max-concurrent-downloads <number>
: Amount of downloads to run in parallel at once-t, --download-timeout <number>
: Max time (in ms) to wait for a download to completehelp
: Display help informationExamples:
nid -p my-package -n 1000 -m 300 -t 3000
nid --package-name my-package --num-downloads 1000 --max-concurrent-downloads 300 --download-timeout 3000
For more information and all available options, run:
nid help
Once you specify your configuration, this will start spamming downloads for the provided package in the npmjs registry. This will increase the popularity score of the npm package.
NOTE: The npmJS Weekly Downloads are updated once every 24 hours, so results will not be instantly visible.
