Is there a tarball of the data somewhere that one could download, redistribute and host somewhere (on the darknet, assumedly)?

- aldanor 11y agoI don't think that's feasible -- scihub requests articles directly from publishers (using legit accounts). Each requested article is cached by libnet.io, so articles are not re-requested twice
- cfcef 11y agoThere are occasional torrents, AFAIK. Hope you have 10tb of free space handy.
- dhj 11y agoIt is absolutely mind blowing to me that you can purchase that amount of storage with 20% to spare for around $500 these days. 12TB, $498 : http://www.amazon.com/Red-Desktop-Hard-Disk-Drive/dp/B00LO3KR96 http://www.amazon.com/Red-Desktop-Hard-Disk-Drive/dp/B00LO3K...
- userbinator 11y agoOr around $120 if you just want to archive the data and use tape: http://www.tapeandmedia.com/quantum-lto-6-tape-ultrium-tapes.asp http://www.tapeandmedia.com/quantum-lto-6-tape-ultrium-tapes... The drive isn't cheap though, but tape is still the cheapest media for long-term archival storage.
