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 Torrents that are crossed out have been superseded by newer torrents, for example because newer metadata has become available.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 you make the torrent software automatically rotate which content it preserves based on the files with the fewest copies in the Swarm ? I don’t want to manage this manually or have to select files by hand.

            That’s an answer I don’t have. I would just focus on grabbing what has the fewest copies for the snap-shot in time when I am downloading the files. Other archivers will grab what needs more copies at the time they download, just as you and I are basing our downloads of what has the fewest existing copies weighed against what others have seeded before us.

            Its a churn of archivers “rotating” the content we each choose to preserve(almost entirely without regard for WHAT the specific content is).

            If enough people were too active about deleting what they’ve downloaded that has “enough” copies and replacing it with content that doesn’t … okay, that’s unlikely, but we still need more seeders in general, and those of us who keep on seeding that which we’ve already downloaded make the decision of what needs more copies seeded in the future easier to make for new archivists and/or those who have invested in more capacity.

          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.

          That’s my rented seedbox I sync my downloads from.
          At home I have an intel nuc 11th gen with 8tb attached via USB.

        Yes. When downloading the torrent, go to the files list for that torrent and un-check boxes. Resist the urge to leave only the first files in the list(as most people will do this leaving few-if-anyone seeding the rest), **and try instead to grab files from the middle or end, or just be random about it.

        When the torrent finishes downloading the files you’ve selected, it wild automatically seed those portions of the torrent which you have downloaded.

          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.

          This is too much work, someone automate this with the smartest algorithm and I will preserve with the power of 10x 2tb 10gbe seedbox.

          Automatically auto seed on a rotation the 10% least available file of each torrent Percentage should be adjustable globally and per torrent.
