My point was that people are already trying to host this sort of science content over torrents and it's not working. Nobody seeds it. I gave a very specific example to confirm this observation. I would love to hear about possible alternatives.

Well, Library Genesis doesn't interest me. A complete history of scientific papers would though.

libgen has many journals and compilations of papers, how is that not exactly what you're talking about?

Also, if the collection was only 95%, 98%, 99%, or 99.5% complete, would you mirror it? Keep in mind that you would also have to purchase/acquire about $500-$1500 of storage space.

Thank you, it helps me gauge WTF is going on.
