The Bay's entire index — every listing, magnet, license tag, and SHA-256 manifest — is periodically snapshotted into a small torrent of its own. Anyone seeding the catalog carries the whole map. If this site ever disappears, the swarm keeps both the models and the index to them.

and a README. Verify listings by re-hashing against each entry's SHA-256 manifest.
All previous snapshots stay listed and seedable.
Snapshots are CC0 — take them, mirror them, fork the Bay itself. That's the point.
