There are already torrents of the archives. But supposing scihub was taken down it's pretty non trivial to get from the archive back to a working site with search functionality. For one thing, none of Sci-Hub's code is available.

Then one more torrent for a small search-coordinator appliance that fans your search query out to all N shard appliances.
