Offline Rust
I had my own full local mirror with https://github.com/ChrisMacNaughton/cargo-cacher a few years back (repeated downloads in docker builds -.-). Iirc, it was 43 GB. I should probably donate some money for doing that… (To who, actually? Mozilla? Rust foundation?)

Does anyone have a cloned copy of lib.rs, or know of a forked repo/archive/crate name?
Looking for crate on crates.io

Is it Ok to push a crate that is part of a github repository?
That is just fine, just keep in mind that crates.io will only see files within the actual crate you are publishing, for example it will not read the repo-level README.md. Here is one of my crates that is in a sub-directory: GitHub crates.io

Released my first crate ~20 hours ago; already downloaded 12 times. Who would know about it?
I released my first crate on crates.io yesterday and haven't advertised it or even started using the crates.io version in my code yet, but the crate has been downloaded 12 times. Is there some sort of audit process or automated caching that goes on with crates that would cause this to happen?

What is the "a" crate?
crates.io having no plan for namesquatters (and repeatedly refusing to use one) is the worst decision imaginable
Hard to say what the intentions were, but in this case probably just trying out how Cargo and crates.io work, and having not enough manners to clean up after themselves.
So are people prompted to give an irrevocable licence to crates.io somewhere?
This could all be fixed by just having accounts and namespaces. The problem is a crate appearing high on results for a search term on crates.io, if there are similar crates they should be able to use the same name and not be discriminated against on the basis of how close their name is to what people will search for
What is the "a" crate on crates.io? It seems to have many downloads, so what does it do? It has no dependencies or dependants - which seems to indicate people are either just downloading out of curiosity or not using it in published crates. Is this an example of name squatting? What does this crate do?

I am not happy with the `crates.io` search.
Imo crates.io is basically just the rusty pypi.org which isn't a great thing in my experience.
