Both are important here. When I was looking into it, the data was useless without the source code. The names are obfuscated and impossible to query without the application source plus the map of file names to document metadata.

I would be unable to mirror LibGen and Sci-Hub with what is currently available. I would be ECSTATIC to be proven wrong.

Oh yeah, you are right. But in the case of libgen, other’s mentioned it is open source.
