The source_seq is very low, compared to the current npm registry: curl -s http://isaacs.iriscouch.com/registry | json_reformat | grep committed "committed_update_seq": 474407 So either you're not pointing at the actual registry, or this replication is no longer running for some reason. I'd cancel the replication, and re-create it using the _replicator endpoint so it gets picked up even if the server restarts. Something like this (untested): curl -X PUT http://admin:passwd@localhost:5984/_replicator/npm-mirror --data-binary '{"source":"https://isaacs.iriscouch.com/registry";, "target":"npm-mirror", "continuous": true}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" For the failure, a snippet of the couch.log file will probably explain why this is failing.
