Archivists Are Trying to Make Sure LibGen Never Goes Down
Imagine this:<p>- A tiny well behaved client that starts with the OS.<p>- It downloads rare bits of the archive at 1 kb/s obtaining 1 GB every 278 hours. It should stop around 100 MB to 5 GB.<p>- It periodically announces what chunks/documents it has.<p>- It seeds those chunks at 1 kb/s<p>- Chunks/documents that have thousands of seeds already are not announced. Eventually those are pruned.<p>This escalates the situation to the point where everyone can help without it costing anything.<p>If someone is trying to obtain a 20 mb pfd it would take 5 and a half hours using a single 1 kb seed. With just 50 seeds it's just 8 min.
