Sci hub seems like the perfect candidate for ipfs, I'm astounded the mirrors haven't implementated that yet.

- JustFinishedBSG 9y agoWe just need decentralized DNS for sci-hub, storage isn't needed (right now). Plus sci-hub storage requirements are pretty big, >75 Tb...
- zaarn 9y agoA dataset at the scale of Scihub would have to pay someone to keep all the various PDFs online (which IIRC is around 70TB by now), which would mean a DMCA or N&T or similar would take down paid IPFS hosters. I'm not sure how many people would willingly play IPFS hoster for 70TB datasets for free and while not giving a shit about authorities knocking on the door.
