Why old versions of crate get downloaded equally everyday?
⚓ Rust 📅 2025-05-27 👤 surdeus 👁️ 11I have published a crate since last year on crates.io: Rust Package Registry, with 13 versions. However, looking at the statistics, I see that older versions are still getting downloaded! And more strangely, they get downloaded almost equally! I think bots, AI systems, or IDEs’ intelligence may scrape the package.
Usually, peaks (on the chart) happen with each release of Rustc. ![]()
Why is this so?
