  Yes, that makes you a data hoarder. Normal people would just use one of the many other methods of getting free books, like legal libraries, googling it on Yandex, torrents, asking a friend, etc. Or just actually pay for a book.

    My target audience is not normal people though, and I don't mean this in the "edgy" sense. The fact that we are having this discussion is very abnormal to begin with, and I think it's great that there are some deviants from the norm who care about the longevity of such projects. I can imagine many students and researchers hosting a mirror of LibGen for their fellows for example.

      In that case, just pay whatever it costs to store the data. With AWS glacier it would cost $50 a month.
