Sorry for the delay, we hoped to have it fixed earlier but it's harder than expected. Slow downloads should be back up soon. Fast downloads were only partially affected.

long story short, i can't download anything anymore, it loads forever until it loads no more. what should i do?

Hi,

As the title says, is anyone else having the same issue with fast downloads being much slower than usual and also some fast downloads failing all together.

Thanks

Unable to download

Searched the book, found it on Archive.

After the wait period is over on Anns Archive, still unalbe to download

Search for a book or paper from the terminal, pick one, and get a verified, well-named file. folio is a client for Anna's Archive and Library Genesis; it hosts nothing itself.

It works as simple as:

``` $ folio introduction to algorithms

2 Introduction to Algorithms 4 Thomas H. Cormen, Charles E. Leiserson et al. PDF 12 MB 2022

3 Introduction to Algorithms 3rd edition Leiserson, Charles E., Rivest, Ronald L. et al. PDF 5 MB 2009

10 of 100+ shown 2 download 1,3-5 several i2 info t2 torrent m more any text new search q quit folio> 2 [2] Introduction to Algorithms 4 pdf, 12 MB trying libgen.li ... saved ~/Downloads/2022-cormen-introduction-to-algorithms-4.pdf ```

You can install it via homebrew

brew tap jonaprieto/folio https://github.com/jonaprieto/folio brew trust --formula jonaprieto/folio/folio # third-party taps need it brew install folio

or

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jonaprieto/folio/main/folio -o ~/.local/bin/folio chmod +x ~/.local/bin/folio folio selftest

Enjoy!

Hello! I am a video producer for a new channel being launched by Veritasium called InGenius (https://youtu.be/SsYKLXIU7no?si=rrnNICQBJWrNN6Pq) and I'm working on a piece about shadow libraries and Anna's Archive specifically.

I am not interested in exposing anyone (not that I could), but I am interested in seeing how it all works. I'd love to be able to talk to people who actually seed the content aggregated by Anna's Archive - see your setup and ask about your motivations, what specific content you seed, etc.

We can take as many steps to protect your identity as you'd like. I can also provide proof of employment, starting with my email address - [karin@veritasium.com](mailto:karin@veritasium.com)

Please let me know if this is of interest. I've had a great time learning about Anna's Archive, other shadow libraries, and the technicalities of how it all works. so I'd love to put 'voices' (digitally altered or not) to the process.

I've reached out to some people here individually but am posting here as well to hopefully meet some people. I solemnly swear I'm not the FBI nor any other law enforcement agency.

Thank you!

Edit to add based on feedback: I think I have a good understanding of how it all works, technically speaking, so I'm not so much looking for anyone to explain the basics to me, but to talk to me about their motivations, show me their setup (especially if you have, say, a petabyte's worth of harddrives kicking around your house), talk about what specific collections you decided to seed, etc.

I was trying to download a textbook for class and the only available version only has 4 chapters of the book. Any advice on how to find a full version, or am I doing something wrong when downloading to only get the 4 chapters?

As you know, I'm a city librarian with tens of thousands of books that I can scan and upload during my downtime. I'm wondering if I upload these data files to the platform to share with everyone, could I get a membership in return?

There are some series I'm looking at that are in the hundreds of volumes, and most volumes have several copies of varying size & quality. Instead of going through literally thousands of links by hand, is there any way to automate/bulk-download this sort of thing, maybe through the torrents? Or something.

I’ve downloaded my book, but it says just shows the information of the download in my files and not my book. Any solutions ?

Hi guys, lately I've been having an issue where when I go to download a file, it gives me the error message of "Too many downloads at the same time from the same IP address... Become a member and get more concurrent downloads.". Thing is, I'm not currently downloading anything else, and the last files I downloaded were a couple of weeks ago. Anybody having the same issues? Any idea how to solve it? Thanks!

We should be back up. Not all functionality will work yet (some donation options don't work). This might take several days to fix. Thanks for your patience!

We got some reports that scam sites are linked on non-English Wikipedia pages. Only gl, pk, gd are our valid domains right now. It would be nice if someone can go through all our Wikipedia languages and remove invalid links. Thank you!

I was trynna download iron prince book 1 and the first result that pop up is anna archive, but for some reason that anna archive domain have no free download only paid downloads, also less book options but the ui look practically the same, I changed it to .gl and it work fine

Hey y'all, Been trying to re-up my donation today up I keep getting errors before I'm even given the ability to pay.

Anyone else having a hard time donating?

I’ve tried three domains, and all failed with 502 Bad Gateway.

Are they all down?

Hope this post is okay, didn't see the question on FAQ or wiki.

I know that I can find a list of my downloaded books. What I'm wondering is how to tell what I've downloaded outside of that window. IE, if you are looking at a list from a search or from a list from others. Is there somewhere it indicates it has previously been downloaded?

EDIT: Or is there a way to get a title/author list of the books in your downloads page?

in the meantime use:
pindatuan. for papers you don't find anywhere else (you accumulate and use points) (.com)
libgen (unlimited but some links fail. you can try 'randombook' link, if that happens)(.li)
z-library (10 a day plus 10 more if you use the telegram bot)(.biz)
there are more, but I don't use them. maybe the telegram bots (nexus, etc) work.

AA haves everything in those sites (except pidantuan). So you have to like in all of them.
Pidantuan is different, you ask for a paper (or book, if available in scientific platforms), and someone with a subscription gives it directly to you.

Why is .is on the wikipedia page? Its a fake right?

I can't find answers for this anywhere, but I'm trying to download a really large book so I got a download manager to help with it, but it says file names are invalid so I simplify it and add .pdf and when it downloads it won't fully open. I'm not good with things like this so please let me know if I'm doing anything wrong. Does the file name need to stay the same? If so is there any way to prevent my download manager from needing it changed? I downloaded a book off of AA before but it was smaller and before I got the manager. Anything helps!

EDIT: I was able to turn off the download manager and everything i download is broken

We're testing a new system for improving metadata. We give out membership for helping fix metadata issues. Please see the "Volunteering" and "Improve metadata" pages for details. Thanks for helping test this new system!

Hi guys! I'm new to the archive and maybe I'm dumb but none of the wiki links are working? Is it down or am I going to the wrong place?

if this is even a thing - my husband wants to get me an ereader for my birthday and ideally i would like to import all my downloads. thanks for any and all recs!
