I love the concept of OpenSubtitles, but they seem to have a hard time maintaining centralized infrastructure. I don't really understand why downloads are zipped in 2022 when GZIP over HTTP is plenty efficient: maybe it's for backend storage space, though?
Is there some way we could help OpenSubtitles decentralize and maintain a p2p or federated database of subtitles? This could probably prevent many modes of failure that have required to restrict access to the API over time.
