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 Torrents that are crossed out have been superseded by newer torrents, for example because newer metadata has become available.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 AnnaArchivist@proton.me so we can let you know when we deprecate any large torrents.
The torrents are to preserve the archive as a whole and not individual books or documents. The entire archive is ~263TB’s which is far more storage than most people have in their home. So instead they broke it up into bits that were more palatable for most that when combined make the whole again. Like a huge .rar from back in the day.
I hope you are wrong. A big multi-part archive can’t normally be operated if any part is missing. I hope they do separate zips of a smaller size, like 100gb chunks of random books. By looking at one person’s comment it seems the largest compilations are very unpopular.
IME with libgen torrents, the filenames will be a random number-string generated by their database, and they might have extentions removed or garbled, but generally these files are actual eBooks/Articles/whatever.
