Thank you so much. My hope is that IPFS can serve as the underlying distributed object storage, and then work up from there to have an indexed distributed search system on top of that (Elasticsearch within a docker container using versioned ES index backups in IPFS? With documents referenced by their IPFS content hash for de-duplication?).

Does anybody know the total size of the repository?

Not AFAIK, but you good get a good idea by downloading all the torrent files, and extracting the torrent size from the metadata. Or maybe just download 1 torrent (since there's over 500 of them, one per 100k files), and multiply the average size per file.

~50TB
Until then, torrents of all the files that sci-hub has retrieved (and all files uploaded into libgens scimag section) can be downloaded here. http://libgen.io/scimag/repository_torrent_notforall/
Anyone can torrent these then host them on IPFS without sci-hub's involvement. However, I suspect you'll have a hard time getting any duplicity for all of this. It's over 50mil files!
