Projects like Anna’s Archive, Z-Library, and the rest need volunteers to create mirrors. If you understand the risks and are able to keep a mirror running long term (not easy work), please do it.

I'm seeding 5TB of Anna's - all I did was say how much data I could take and the site made a pack of torrents that needed help. It's the least I can do for all the knowledge I've benefited from.

I'm thinking about starting to host some content.

Unrelated to hosting, from the few searches I've done, they've got MASSIVE content duplication issues. If I would average this out to all content I could easily say the content is duplicated 20-30x, which probably isn't true on average. But even if it's 2-3x it still seems a waste at such a large scale.
