I want to download entire collections of authors for my mother, so she always has something to read.

For example, she likes nora Roberts. That's over 200 books. Can I automate this?

Not an answer to your question but i wonder if in 40 years or so you'll have someone asking "how do I dowload all of a video game studio work ? My grandma is really into soulslike, how can I download all of fromsoftware games ?"

You can absolutely do that with Readarr.

Assuming you have the right indexers configured.

And where are these book oriented indexers you speak of?! The ones I have are very much geared towards tv & movie.

No OP but I'd appreciate it :)

Tbh I just spray and pray with Prowlarr and any book-capable indexers haha.

Private tracker, invite via IRC. Books & Publications only

Interested in this too...

[–] BraBraBra@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

So there's no ddl option? I mean, getting into a private tracker just for books is overkill. Like Anna's Archive is right there.

Libgen has everything. Just set the search to "fiction" and select by author.

The "...In Death" series she published under the pseudonym JD Robb used to be on piratebay with a continuously updated archive, that were 70+ books already back when I read them. No clue if it's still being seeded/updated though.

So no automation with ddl. Let's see how receptive they are to integrating hatt.

[–] eroc1990@lemmy.parastor.net 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Readarr pulls from Prowlarr and is beholden to what the indexers return. You can always DDL, just do it outside of Readarr.

[–] BraBraBra@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So that's a no on the automation, right?

[–] eroc1990@lemmy.parastor.net 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean I've never tried to integrate a DDL provider with Readarr so idk. Check their wiki and see what they say.

[–] BraBraBra@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I see lazylibrarian supports libgen. Seems like that's my solution.

[–] YeastInspection@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Does anyone know a way to do this with the Rarbg rips that have been released? Like, bulk search and download tens of thousands of magnet links? A conventional indexer would ban you in minutes for that many API hits
