Anybody know why Anna's Archive is torrents only and not IPFS?

This seems like a perfect usecase for IPFS

There are some blog posts on annas-blog.org from 2022, talking about IPFS.
- Thanks. That's a good read.

  Thanks. That’s a good read.
Huh I thought I've been downloading stuff with ipfs from them the whole time
- You can download individual books through IPFS, but not a collection of their entire dataset
  
  Yeah one biiig archive would drown the poor node it is assigned lol.
Sucks that clearnet IPFS gateways (ahem cloudflare) censor pirated books tho
- Funny how Web3 promised a more decentralized internet but shits themselves when pirated books are shared. Like, do you want freedom of information or not. It confirms that web3 is just another big tech buzzword.
Is there anything similar for audiobooks?
