So, can we download everything that we can, and host it somewhere else?

No, really?

I see some of the content has a license that would appear to allow it. But do any of us have the time, energy, and resources to sit down and do it?

This certainly isn't the first or last time some website with interesting content is going to go down. Maybe we should all get better at forking open source content as a matter of course.

If we don't, then I think criticizing Google for not being willing to host it is pretty lame.

You could. I wouldn't be surprised if someone had already reposted everything on Sketchfab.
