Have any of the mirror sites uploaded all 50M papers as a torrent yet? They really should...

  Yeah, I guess we're at the point where 50tb arrays are not infeasible. Not sure where I'd get 50tb of bandwidth though without someone gnawing off my left foot.

    50tb is like 1/10th of a backblaze pod. And 50tb of bandwidth is not really that much (last month I spent 1.2TB of bandwidth on a consumer grade connection, so like 50 users can pull this off in a month)

    They should categorize papers into specific fields (and sub-fields). Each party would torrent what interests them. Also, this might make a great use case for IPFS as apposed to torrents. Torrents are not designed to be mutable.

  > any of the mirror sites uploaded all 50M papers as a torrent yes... but their bandwidth (seeding) is atrocious. Send help.
