Could the data be retained on something like IPFS so that cloning of the tracker could happen independent of its existence?

I thought about some kind of distributed storage, but the technology is not there yet (=I cannot implement that easily, users cannot use it easily). The site uses a regular PostgreSQL database. Most data, though, is published on Internet archive in a standard format (https://torrenthistory.org/docs/open-data/). There are torrents as well, users can download and seed them. I will upload new archives monthly
