Wikipedia has a decent article on Anna's Archive: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna%27s_Archive Top paragraph:> Anna's Archive is an open source search engine for shadow libraries that was launched by the pseudonymous Anna shortly after law enforcement efforts to shut down Z-Library in 2022. The site aggregates records from Z-Library, Sci-Hub, and Library Genesis (LibGen), among other sources. It calls itself "the largest truly open library in human history", and has said it aims to "catalog all the books in existence" and "track humanity's progress toward making all these books easily available in digital form". It claims not to be liable for downloads of copyrighted works, since the site indexes metadata but does not directly host any files, instead linking to third-party downloads. It has nonetheless faced government blocks and legal action from copyright holders and publishing trade associations...
>>1389064So what's the relationship between torrents, hosting services and annas archive? Annas Archive does the bookkeeping, the hosters proxy/cache the books from torrents and the torrents are the backup of data?
>>1389160By seeding it in torrent form you can ensure that AI companies are able to use it as training data. No they will not seed back. Their services are very valuable and they will give you a limited free sample of them that you can use without payment. That's a nice gesture for this act of kindness on your part.
>>1389165when hosting data for everyone, that includes le bad guys too, yes, thankfully seeding is basically free

There is some really interesting data on their announcement page.
>>1389028bump
>>1389028Worthy cause.
>>1389028>annas-archive.orgIs the website down?
>>1390644Yes. You have to use one of the backup domains now. .su still worked for me.
>>1390644Seems to be, this stinks...
>>1390644We have been warning you guys for a while now. All of them are under attack. Libgen was literally killed.
>>1389621The .org died but there are other TLD's you can use that work. There seems to be a digi-war going on at the moment, but more sites will pop up and more TLD's will be bought. The cat and mouse game will continue as always.https://open-slum.pages.dev/
>>1389165https://torrentfreak.com/meta-torrented-over-81-tb-of-data-through-annas-archive-despite-few-seeders-250206/This is why I don't support these efforts even though I easily could. I think this does more harm than good. This is the one case where I'd even encourage you to hit and run these torrents yourself. Collecting all this data is unfeasible for most but get what you want and keep it safe offline. The preservation of this content is more important than it's distribution.

>>1389028are you sure about that i am in read thousand title name range not read those books
>>1392022Fuck this shit, at least as far as academic and historical things go. I don't care about fiction modern slop as much, they can remove that, but I hate when knowledge is stifled like that.
