Do your part and start mirroring parts of it! http://libgen.io/scimag/repository_torrent/

Okay. I've got a dedicated seed box but it is only DSL. I have ample disk space.

What am I looking at, at that link? Is there a 'mirror the whole damned thing' torrent and how frequently should I update this?

I already mirror a bunch of Linux ISOs, so it's not a problem to add more.

Looking at the dates on the file list, I suspect not, and that the way you keep up to date is to keep adding the new torrents as they come out.

Since torrents are immutable it makes sense... would otherwise be a pain to update.

I'll add the most recent. Thanks.

I will have to spin up some spare drives and it's going to take a while. I'll do the SciMag, though it will take a few months to synch it all. I've got spare driver and will actually end up needing to set them in a new box. I've been meaning to do this project for a while but lacked a good reason.

Thanks.

Have fun and thanks!
