I believe that knowledge should be free, you should have access to knowledge even if you don't have the money to afford buying it. This uses IPFS.

Doesn't Anna's Archive already include a full backup of Sci-Hub and distribute it via Torrent and IPFS in addition to their website and the providers and mirrors they usually use for uploading?

I think they stopped endorsing IPFS. I can't find a good source right now. If you wan't to support Anna's Archive, you can help seed their torrents. They don't seem to have that much redundancy.

You're right.

We’ve decided that IPFS is not yet ready for prime time. We’ll still link to files on IPFS from Anna’s Archive when possible, but we won’t host it ourselves anymore, nor do we recommend others to mirror using IPFS. Please see our Torrents page if you want to help preserve our collection.

IPFS is not for bulk mirroring, it's for content delivery. IPFS works well enough if the content publishers and end users know what they're doing.
