Wanna help? :D

Can you try registry-mirror out and share what you think of it and how would you make it better? Pleaaaase :)

You can find on the README the quickest way to test it out - https:/diasdavid/registry-mirror#quick-setup-probably-all-that-you-need

Right now, our clone only has 30555 out of 499877 modules available on npm, but it is steadily growing. What this means is that modules that have dependencies that are not downloaded yet, won't be able to finish, but modules like bignumber which doesn't have any dependencies, are installed right away :)

How to check how many modules IPFS has available:

$ ipfs files stat /npm-registry

Thank you :)

How about something that automatically sets the registry in the npm config for you, e.g. if I run registry-mirror --ipfs --set-registry ?

@dignifiedquire it would be nice but I think this module should be as simple as possible.

What do you think of making the module usable by others. In a way that someone could create a module that started registry-mirror and tweak ~/.npmrc?

@fampinheiro sounds like a good idea yes
