Torrents are great and all but it's dependent on people seeding them, sci-hub/libgen is great because you don't have to worry about a download suddenly breaking because no one is seeding

But they could just always be a seeder. Doesn’t that have the upsides of the existing solution plus resiliency?

Isn't scihub/libgen already backed by torrents? I'm confused.

Nope it was mostly direct download for the endusers with some ipfs in some places.
