Yes, we'd happily host and torrent this.

We're grateful to Meta for helping seed and backup our torrents. The more copies the better. Thank you Meta, for helping preserve humanity's legacy! :)

Anna here. In some sense copyright is appearing to be beside the point, but for the exact same reason copyright holders are becoming more defensive, and trying to expand the scope of copyright. That's one of the reasons why this is such a critical window for preservation!

We'd welcome a Merge Request on our Gitlab for a Captcha implementation that is as good as Cloudflare but can be done without any external dependencies. If anyone cares enough to make that, we'll merge it!

Anna here. Thanks for the broadcast.

We're soon releasing another few hundred TB of completely unique materials (mostly books, also lots of magazines), so help with preserving all of this is sorely needed.

Much, much thanks to everyone who has contributed in one way or another already!

Libgen still uses torrents primarily for preservation. It also hosts on IPFS but that is more for access, and there are very few IPFS seeders.

We tried IPFS for a bit but found it not stable and usable enough for preservation purposes. We're closely watching IPFS development and hope that it will get there, since it would be wonderful to merge the preservation and access use cases in one system.

Appreciate the concern! We're not making any public statements about this lawsuit but rest assured we're fine.

Thanks everyone for your interest and support. As you can see, it's paramount that these torrents get seeded widely, to preserve this collection.

Part of it is already preserved fairly well, especially the Sci-Hub torrents and many of the Libgen torrents, but there is currently ~150TB with <4 seeders.

Head over to the "/torrents" page if you'd like to help!

It really is
