Seems like the way to do it. It should take some pressure off their servers.

    Because individual books are smaller than a torrent slice.

    Providing torrents of authors, publications or similar? That could work, except they’d have to keep rebuilding the torrents for current works (see the issue with archive.org and torrents).

    Also, aa to end user is relatively private; aa to torrent to end users is very NOT private.

    They’d do better just storing the archive in I2P.
