It depends. Some of the pixel art ones are. Some of them are hosted through IPFS which means any computer can host the same data at the same url. Others obviously use regular urls that can change.
IPFS is torrent magnet stuff?
no
The concept is pretty similar, but it is its own thing. The important bits are that it has a new protocol (IPFS instead of http). But there are http forwarding websites people use to play nice with browsers. Another key concept is that a file's contents is effectively the url id. A url may stop having "seeding" users, but if someone has a copy, it can be seeded again.
