Too many small files, papers need different indexing.

Shadow libraries (like scihub, Anna's archive etc.) are the way to go - as long as scientists don't or can't publish Open Access which is what needs to happen.

Too many small files

Not as many small files as many games have, and people have figured out how to torrent those... ๐Ÿ˜‚(just compress it in a zip or similar)

I meant you'd have too many torrents (each consisting of 1 small file)...
