Wrong. Annas Archive doesn’t Accept Uploads directly themselves (at least <10.000), and they recommend STC too.
To upload academic papers, please also (in addition to Library Genesis) upload to STC Nexus. They are the best shadow library for new papers.

BiglyBT includes an embedded I2P-Client
There are already Torrents with the raw data and they’ve used IPFS in the past, but decided it was not ready https://annas-archive.org/torrents (They pool multiple shadow libraries)
Just use Syncthing?
