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 Torrents that are crossed out have been superseded by newer torrents, for example because newer metadata has become available.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.

Id happily seed a tb or so of the most in-danger torrents. My internet aint much but my old pc is almost always on.
How do I know which of the piece torrents are high or low on seeders? Maybe I'm just being special or can't see it on mobile but is there no way to check each torrent's health without actually downloading every piece and putting it in my torrent client?

The health is listed next to each piece at this URL: https://annas-archive.org/torrents

Ah perfect. I'll throw some of the 300gb archives on my rig when I get home.
