I'm curious to try this out but am not interested in sucking up multiple GB of bandwidth. It would be helpful to know what I'm getting myself in to.

the leveldb it creates is less than 200 mb. that is with a full text index.

cd ~/.npmd
du -hd .
165 MB

The initial download from couchdb is closer to 500 but npmd doesn't keep everything...

Awesome! Put that in the readme :)
