Those downloads are very unlikely to be real users, like Vincent suggests, those are likely mirrors precaching the packages. There's also a huge monitoring infrastructure around supply chain security, companies like Snyk monitor new and updated packages for possible malware, so that's probably the reason for those downloads. You will likely see the traffic dropping off in the coming days.
