This is great! I've been half-barely-following IPFS development for a few years now but I think this is a salient use case that I could actually see myself using.
I think also with IPFS i can share files with peers pretty easily? It's nicer than uploading to a filesharing site, and easier than setting up a torrent.
So, what's next @sixtyfourbits? Is there a read-only wikipedia on ipfs yet?
Next up is the scimag collection (also maintained by library genesis), which is a backup of all articles on sci-hub.
The torrents are already widely replicated, but whether or not IPFS is going to be able to scale to the level required for 85M articles is still an unknown.

edit: found it, but I think it's not searchable https://en.wikipedia-on-ipfs.org/wiki/

I thought the new release allows for an exabyte of data. Not sure it can handle bandwidth though
