Projects like Anna’s Archive, Z-Library, and the rest need volunteers to create mirrors. If you understand the risks and are able to keep a mirror running long term (not easy work), please do it.
I’m seeding 5TB of Anna’s - all I did was say how much data I could take and the site made a pack of torrents that needed help. It’s the least I can do for all the knowledge I’ve benefited from.

What a hero.
I’m thinking about starting to host some content.
Unrelated to hosting, from the few searches I’ve done, they’ve got MASSIVE content duplication issues. If I would average this out to all content I could easily say the content is duplicated 20-30x, which probably isn’t true on average. But even if it’s 2-3x it still seems a waste at such a large scale.
