What I don't understand, and maybe somebody can explain. If this is the case, why wouldn't there be torrents of every paper whose authors would be genuinely delighted to share?
Not being skeptical here. I'm really curious.
And maybe there are, and they're just not well advertised for understandable reasons?
Sci-Hub was the most similar exploitation of such "situation"
Too many small files, papers need different indexing.
Shadow libraries (like scihub, Anna's archive etc.) are the way to go - as long as scientists don't or can't publish Open Access which is what needs to happen.
Not as many small files as many games have, and people have figured out how to torrent those... ๐(just compress it in a zip or similar)
I meant you'd have too many torrents (each consisting of 1 small file)...
