🚨 It's time to fire up those seedboxes! Preserve human knowledge FOREVER by seeding Anna’s Archive torrents 🚨 (annas-archive.org)

These are all the torrents currently managed and released by Anna’s Archive. For more information, see “Our projects” on the Datasets page. For Library Genesis and Sci-Hub torrents, the Libgen.li torrents page maintains an overview.

These torrents are not meant for downloading individual books. They are meant for long-term preservation.

Torrents with “aac” in the filename use the Anna’s Archive Containers format. Torrents that are crossed out have been superseded by newer torrents, for example because newer metadata has become available. Some torrents that have messages in their filename are “adopted torrents”, which is a perk of our top tier “Amazing Archivist” membership.

You can help out enormously by seeding torrents that are low on seeders. If everyone who reads this chips in, we can preserve these collections forever. This is the current breakdown:

Status	Torrents	Size	Seeders
🔴	54	154.0TB	<4
🟡	183	92.5TB	4–10
🟢	111	17.2TB	>10

IMPORTANT: If you seed large amounts of our collection (50TB or more), please contact us at [email protected] so we can let you know when we deprecate any large torrents.

Already well enough seeded.

Also: Partial downloads on torrents are ~~evil~~not great^reason for the change. (Still) Don't do that.

Edit: Updated my stance on partial download.

Why are partial downloads evil?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Being not a full seeder you are only giving what you have.
If another seeder quits, nobody can complete the torrent.
Not great.

Not great isn't the same as evil. They're still sharing what they have.

I updated my comment. I kindly ask for feedback if possible

Okay, but you're providing more to the swarm than if you weren't participating.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

True. Can't argue with that logic because I use it as well

This is a bad take, I want to auto seed the last 1% of every torrent which is the least available and automatically rotate it. Torrent infrastructure needs to stop sucking.
