Probably a good time to mention Anna's is looking for people with extra hard drive space to help seed their torrent files, and are constantly looking for volunteers and donations to help out. If you even only have a little time or resources, any help is much appreciated to keep the archives collection alive. You can also find links to them their wikipedia page at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna's_Archive

AA has managed to stay up for surprisingly long. I hope they will continue to do so. There is a large amount of documents that are hard to find anywhere else there, not to mention all the university books that would cost a a fortune to buy for a poor student...

EDIT: typo.

Anna should claim they're training an LLM.

I've gotten so much good stuff off there.

What are you guys getting from there? What kind of books/materials? Not to judge or spy on you (what a spy would say), but just genuinely curious.

Extra hard drive space is good and all but the last time I looked at their lists, all decently sized torrents had a good enough amount of peers while the large torrents which aren't as manageable were the issue.

Just about everything except obscure old books

I just looked and thres lots of accessory torrents with 'small' archives (dozens of GB, not hundreds or heaven forbid TB)

Some very niche books, like books that are related to a game series for example. Also some university literature, scientific papers and history/culture books that are either hard to find or very expensive locally.

Meta said it's fine so it obviously is!

Where could I find these torrents? Been looking, but found nothing

Maybe they added new ones since I last looked
