If a model page disappears, peers keep seeding; downloads can be verified bit-for-bit against recorded SHA-256s. Terminal search via <code>curl https://pirateface.co/s/qwen</code>, verified creator handles tied to HF accounts, 669k+ eligible models listed, live seeder counts shown (many need seeders). A planned drop-in <code>HF_ENDPOINT</code> API would make it a transparent alternate download path.</p>
