  I don't think giving up money for more servers and hosting is really the answer here. I think de-centralizing and distributing the registry is really the way forward here. there is one project i know that is trying to make this happen https://github.com/jmgunn87/mynpm https://github.com/jmgunn87/mynpm

  Check this out... * Commercial PaaS hosting firm, nodejitsu, is asking for donations to pay (or help to pay) for the costs of running npm. * Nodejitsu uses Joyent infrastructure to host npm and is a Joyent partner (http://www.joyent.com/partners/nodejitsu http://www.joyent.com/partners/nodejitsu) * Nodejitsu plan on using said funds to purchase additional resources at Joyent, where npm is currently hosted. * Joyent own the trademark for Node.js Er, say what?...

    npm isnt hosted at joyent, npm isnt wrtten in node, its CouchDB, theres more details @ http://blog.nodejs.org/2013/11/26/npm-post-mortem/ http://blog.nodejs.org/2013/11/26/npm-post-mortem/ Even if it were, not sure what the issue would be, npm is a public service that costs money to run, they are asking for money from people who use that service.
