About IPDB.cat

IPDB is dedicated to all great libraries of history.
It continuously monitors the health of their backbones
The backbones or backends of these shadow libraries is run by a random loose knit group of volunteers, literature and freedom enthusiasts
Most shadow libraries make use of Torrent and IPFS for storage, backup and distribution
Monitoring the health of torrent collections is done by means of DHT and querying tracker
This system is powered by TSMD
Torrent Swarm Monitoring Daemon is developed here
