Ask HN: Reliability of npm download stats

I've just been looking through the stats of a few packages I've published on NPM. Seems they are getting far more downloads than I had anticipated. Though I suspect these may be bots downloading, does anybody else have experience with this? I'm surprised to see I'm getting 100 downloads a month on one of my packages, but no bugs reported (and no forks). It's a pretty simple package, but I know I'm not perfect. Curious if people are actually using the package or if the downloads are doing something else? Any thoughts on this?
