🚨 It's time to fire up those seedboxes! Preserve human knowledge FOREVER by seeding Anna’s Archive torrents 🚨 (annas-archive.org)

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 Torrents that are crossed out have been superseded by newer torrents, for example because newer metadata has become available.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

Is a seedbox necessary or will qbittorrent with a VPN work?

If you don't mind leaving your pc on and using bandwidth I don't see why not?

Even that doesn't matter, why would you need to keep your PC on. It's about preserving the data, if it's only online occasionally it's still better than nothing.
