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 Torrents that are crossed out have been superseded by newer torrents, for example because newer metadata has become available.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.
It seems the majority of the torrents with poor seeder count are in the 1.5TB+ range. I just simply don’t have the storage for that. Most everything in the 0-300GB range is pretty well covered.
Agreed. I’d like to share a bit of disk storage but I only have 2 TB and I need that for my own consumption.
Give us smaller torrents (e.g. 50GB parts) instead.

How do I do this? When I open up the magnet link, it only seems to give me one checkbox for the entire 10 TB thing. Sure, I can check “download first and last parts before anything else” but it would still try to download all 10 TB, no?
Edit: Nevermind, I didn’t grab one of the files that has aac in its name.

Also: Partial downloads on torrents are
evilnot great[1](https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/5156407). (Still) Don’t do that.Edit: Updated my stance on partial download.
reason for the change ↩︎
Why are partial downloads evil?
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.
True. Can’t argue with that logic because I use it as well
Me with only 250GB ssd in an intel nuc lmao
That’s my rented seedbox I sync my downloads from.
At home I have an intel nuc 11th gen with 8tb attached via USB.
There are smaller torrents < 80gb go take a look on their website
Those have enough seeds for now.
Can you partially seed some of a larger torrent?

This is true, but I don’t know if you’d be counted as a seeder on that list though if you don’t have the full torrent.
I don’t think you would but you would count towards the “availability” that’s listed, so ten leechers each with a unique 10% of the torrent would give a 1.0 availability for a new lecher who wanted to become a seed.
