We need archives built on decentralized storage. Don't get me wrong, I really like and support the work Internet Archive is doing, but preserving history is too important to entrust it solely to singular entities, which means singular points of failure.

This seems to get brought at least once in the comments for every one of these articles that pops up.

The IA has tried distributing their stores, but nowhere near enough people actually put their storage where their mouths are.

Nearly every entry in the library has a torrent file (which is a distributed storage system), but with the index pages down, they're not accessible.

Maybe there needs to be a torrentable offline-first HTML file (only goes online to tell you if there's a new torrent whatsoever with more files), that lets you look through for more torrents (Magnet links are really tiny).

I miss when TPB used to have a CSV of all their magnet links, their new UI is trash. I can't even find anything like the old days, pretty much TPB is a dying old relic.
