Decentralizing it would be far more simple if they provided something such as an application you could download and partially mirror some parts of it, for example.
Eventually, given enough interest, they'd mirror everything. Maybe they could even build this on top of Torrent.

Provide a client which can be used to coordinate between the numerous volunteers to ensure a wide (ideally full) backup of IA distributed over IPFS, paired with volunteer pinning of specific portions by interest groups and individuals. Their self-hosted IPFS node(s) would become the permanent seeds for this system and broader use of IPFS would ensure wider (though not guaranteed sans pinning) availability.
