Is there some kind of searchable index included so that you can locate an article in a particular Zip? I'm assuming each article has some kind of ID numbers and the Zips are divided by ID range or something?

Yep! See https://github.com/sci-hub-p2p/artifacts/releases/tag/0

This project is in it's early stages and the documentation has quite some way to go, but the index that's part of the release contains all the necessary information. This tool also contains the code necessary to produce the index files if you have a local copy of the zips.

Each torrent contains 100,000 files, comprised of 100 zip files with 1,000 PDFs each. They are named by DOI. There's a database dump at (http://libgen.rs/dbdumps/) (scimag.sql.gz) which has the id -> DOI mapping and other information. The specific torrent and zip file can be determined based on the id; torrent = id/100000 and zip = id/1000.
