All papers on sci-hub are available as torrents from library genesis. The full collection contains 85 million articles (before this announcement), and is about 80TB. If anything ever happens to sci-hub or library genesis, there's enough people out there with backups that a replacement can be set up fairly quickly, albeit without the proxy functionality to obtain new papers.
However, the more the merrier, so if you've got some spare hardware and bandwidth to share, I'd encourage you to contribute to the seeding effort if you're able. At current market prices of ~$30/TB, it costs ~$2400 to have a copy of the full collection sitting on your desk.
