Anna's Archive (seemingly the successor) appears to have migrated to BitTorrent.
I wonder what motivated the move?
Edit: asking as someone who works daily on building p2p software. We've abandoned mainline BitSwap (IPFS) in our work for similar reasons as the rest of the rust-libp2p community, but haven't found a particularly good "successor" protocol for a generalized use case yet. We are currently using our own ad-hoc hand-rolled chunking/transfer protocol as needed.
IIRC, libgen used IPFS for preservation efforts.
