Like you said, I also expect CDNs and automated infrastructures like vulnerability checking bots to play a role in it. I'm very curious to see if it will die down or not ;p
Since you said it currently lacks functionality, then it will die down a bit after a couple days, but every time you publish a new version the downloads will go back up for a few days.
I guess you'll see the same pattern I see on PyPI. If you want to see an example, follow this link to see the download data for one of my packages on PyPI: pepy.tech/project/bibliometrics
This is relatively new and serves a rather niche purpose, so it is not likely to have many real users represented in the graph yet.
In the graph you'll notice a couple spikes. Those correspond to when I published new versions. Scroll down in the table below the graph to 9/7 and you'll see the first 2 days of most recent release had 54 and 58 downloads each, but then 3rd day only 18 and then less the 4th day.
If you scroll back to 8/26 and 8/1 you'll see a similar pattern for prior 2 releases. Not shown in chart anymore, the first release in early July or late June had same pattern when nobody but me knew about it.
The spike on 9/7 is steeper than all prior ones, and doesn't trail off quite as low as previously, so that might be a sign of some actual users. Or it might also just be an increase in coverage by mirrors, etc.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
