Recently I was on holiday with limited internet connectivity. I was developing an application in node.js when I suddenly needed some NPM packages. This put a severe halt in the development and I was forced to wait until I could go online to download said packages and continue development.
Is it possible to mirror the whole npm registry locally on my puter? How to do that?
It should be possible seeing as online mirrors of the main registry exists. Where do they gather all packages from?

Reset to default 2This is what npm-offline could do for you. npm-offline could cache modules, you would just need to create a script that ensures you have the modules that you want cached.
