With how many lawsuits they get and the total amounts they now have technically lost in court, how is it possible they still hide their hosting infrastructure? Anna's archive hosts a truly monumental amount of content and its not like its exactly easy to host petabytes(?) of content in secret easily. Hell the orders for hard drives should make it easy to find them. It's not like they can just tuck a raspberry pi with an Ethernet connection somewhere and throw up a proxy and call it a day. What kind of techniques are required to hide that amount of infrastructure? Especially under such scrutiny as the US government and many publishers coming for their throats I can't imagine it's a small feat.

A lot of the actual content is ~~hosted and~~ backed up by volunteers via torrent. You can grab chunks of any size you want from the site and seed them. I'm doing my part!

Edit: took a look at the site and i guess that's just the backup. Still neat.
