The best thing would be to try yourself (I'm assuming having a webserver you control and change the fetcher to use your local webserver (or possibly even setting up a PREMIRRORS for crates)).

That’s checkstatus, not the actual fetch.

Put this on the list of reasons why I dislike the wget fetcher: two entirely distinct codepaths.
