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 Torrents that are crossed out have been superseded by newer torrents, for example because newer metadata has become available.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.
I have a few questions as you appear to be part of the archive or at least very familiar with it.
Roughly how often are the archives updated?
Do you guys already have a proper backup method or are your seeds acting as that backup?
Any idea realistically how much bigger the archive can get data wise in the next few years? Estimates or educated guesses are fine. I want to know how much I need to plan in advance.
If I take the whole archive, must I deploy it or can it be searched through if I have the whole thing and I want something specific out of it?
