My goodness - do the users of AA do anything other than catastrophize and complain? It’s a free website hosting what some jurisdictions consider pirated material, but I swear this sub turns into a sea of Karens demanding to see the manager and get concierge-level service any time it goes down for more than a microsecond or if they have to type “.se” one night instead of “.org” (or whatever else).
Ffs people, be thankful that there’s a handful of folks maintaining this project on voluntary crypto donations. A little shakiness, intermittent downtime, some different domains, etc. comes with the territory.
It’s almost like some of you guys never downloaded an album from limewire that opened 10000 popups and crashed your family’s windows XP, and it really shows.
Every day it’s like:

What is happening??? Did they kill it once and for all?! I tried to download this one thing and it’s not downloading, PLEASE HELP
Comments
it’s over, it’s all over. I’m literally going to fail my class and my dad’s going to yell at me and it’s ALL their fault
literally shaking and pissing and shitting my pants and crying rn, how could they do this to us??? 😭 (edit: whew, false alarm, I was using the wrong address)
they’ve finally done it. They ruined it.
what is going on???? Is this normal?? Guys I can’t download <insert mundane book title> how do I make it download??
Note: I’m not associated with the project or the maintainers in any way. Just sharing my .02 after scrolling this sub a few times.
Is there a way to get audiobooks on Anna's?
I was so lucky that I found the anna archive in 2022 for reading content especially academic. As some of the stuff are so expensive I can't even think to purchase them, why did anna archive did this? I don't wanna lose this. I'm literally crying in my mind.
Best would be to make a alternative asap

The future of this website seems uncertain now.
i want to download the series of big ideas simply explained,of course i can do that,issue,its 40+ books,very time consuming to manually download each one,is there any way to download the entire series?
Hi,
I stumble upon a private FB group, and the moderators created a lot of publications along the years with one book each, a description, and a cover. So i can "easily" (not really) download books, but no MD5, no formatted metadata, and the cover picture is hard to link to the book. Some books are already in AA, some aren't (all are in public domain, of course :-). I didn't check all of them (more than 500?).
Does anyone already met this type of configuration? Any idea to upload those to AA?
Hello!!
New here, I got a kindle for Christmas (I live in Canada). Anna’s archive was recommended to me for use from a friend.
I get to the portion where I download from the slow downloads. My friend then says I copy the link, open up the browser in my phone and paste the link. Every time I do this, it says safari can’t establish a secure connection. I don’t know how to download to my phone and then send to kindle?
Can anyone offer some guidance?
Thanks!
I want to thank Anna and the team who run the site. It has helped me in my study an incredible amount, and I know that it helps others with less access even more. I need access to historical monographs and obscure textbooks, which I would otherwise have to buy. Thank you for making all this information publicly available. I appreciate you! <3
Very often on AA I come across several copies of the same ebook in epub format, where the content of the individual html files inside the container is identical (same md5 checksum), but slightly differences in the internal opf used for metadata (resulting from the books coming from different stores, having been interacted with in Calibre, etc), or even having been zipped with different settings, will cause the overall checksum to be different.
In such cases is de-duplication possible, and if so is it done to any extent in AA's torrents?
Is everything from worldcat on annas archive? Anyone know what happened to worldcat? I am using a vpn and cant access it.
THE REASON I COULDN’T ACCESS WAS BC OF USING VPN!
Bought the Libra for travel, but ebooks are expensive. $70 USD for a series, in this economy? No thank you. Brother has the Libra as well, and he loves it. He's devised some method of installing books on his ereader through the google drive feature. I'm not at all familiar with how it works. Does anyone else use this method with their own ereader?
Hello, two weeks ago I asked if there are existing download statistics for Anna's Archive because I work on this topic in university.
I downloaded aa_derived_mirror_metadata and imported mariapersist_downloads_hourly_by_md5 in mariadb. Now I see timestamps and md5-hashes.
I have trouble connecting these hashcodes with actual metadata like DOIs and more information about the download like geographical locations (if these are even recorded). Are there additional files I can find in the torrents that are needed here?
Thank you for your help!
Hello! I'm thinking of building a site that would make it easier for people to trade books nation-wide. I was thinking of what I'd use to get the info of a book based on the ISBN, and Anna's Archive was my first thought. Is there something easily available for this? Or are there other projects besides AA that do this better? Thanks!
I've recently been reading 1984 (downloaded from the archive itself lol) and despite finding it quite boring and dry, it has made me realise one very crucial thing.
(Mild spoilers ahead)
As I read through the Party's methods of controlling and conditioning its people, I kept thinking to myself how ineffective they feel, and whether something like this would actually work irl. But then it struck me, this book was written in the 1940s. And perhaps the reason the Party's influence over the people was believable back then, was because of the comparatively lower literacy and education rate back then. The reason the Party was able to condition its masses was (imo) because they weren't too educated, and the reason it feels unlikely that this world work today is because how educated we all have become now, making us more mature and wise in our decisions, and aware of our surroundings.
Now why am I writing this in the AA subreddit?
Because THIS IS LITERALLY (almost) free education for the masses. Anyone with internet access can teach themselves whatever they wish, and anyone can make themselves aware of how things truly are across the world, thanks to the huge repository of textbooks, study material and research papers freely available on this site.
AA isn't just a free digital library, it is our weapon against authority and control. As long as we stay educated and aware, no one can exert their influence over us.
Thank you, AA.
(I'm sorry if this came out like a radical manifesto of sorts, I'm jotting this all down at 1 am with emotions pouring out my heart)
That's it, thank you to everyone and anyone involved in making knowledge open, I was not born in great conditions, and I have educated myself and helped others; without you, this would've been impossible...
Find it on the website!
is there a website like AA that lets you read audio books for free? no library card?
before 20 people comment use the search feature, i did. i have an iphone and can’t get a clear answer on any to use without torrenting or whatever it is called.
I have been trying to donate through CashApp since yesterday and cannot figure out the bitcoin amount? AA donation page says to enter in an amount that uses a decimal (0.00028421 BTC) but I literally cannot enter in that amount. There's a decimal option on my screen, but I can't use it. I've never sent bitcoin before, I have no idea what I'm doing...can anyone help?
I just discovered the site 4 days ago and i wanna read few books, back then I saw there was all tomes in french but now, when I look for them there is none available, I changed the link as org seems to not work anymore, tbh I dont rly mind It was just more convenient but I would like to know if the problem is more global.
I want to store a copy of the 4TB data metadata inside my Google Cloud Bucket and make it readable in Google Bigquery.
I don't have that kind of space in my laptop, so I wonder if there is a way to save those data in a bucket that I can later store and partition in Google Big Query
also, I don't think we have chart data, right?
I tried downloading books from Anna's archive from my iPad and it seems to not work anymore. I only get the option to download as a a file, and while I opened the file app, I could not see any text nor export is to books/kindle. However, I could still download books on my Macbook. Is anyone experiencing a similar issue?
First, Anna's Archive is a great resource and I love using it! I've thrown in a few dollars to become a "Brilliant Bookworm" and will probably keep supporting it in the future.
I think there's a way to make torrents the preferred method for users downloading files and also support the bulk storage of these files. Benefits would include taking bandwidth pressure off the dedicated servers (saving $), increase the long-term resiliency of the files, and simply allow more of us users to support this effort.
For using the torrents I've maneuvered through 1) ensuring that 'pre-allocate disk space for files' in qbittorent is disabled (else you allocate/waste GBs for a 3MB pdf, 2) download the .torrent file, 3) uncheck all the boxes of files I don't want, 4) find and select the single file I do want, and finally 5) copy and rename the downloaded file to a human-readable version (book title, author last name, year published). It works but is cumbersome and doesn't lend well to encouraging us users to seed large number of files long term. Even if I did, me eventually seeding ~300 files inside ~250 different .torrent files isn't going to provide the long-term resiliency that is needed. I could seed the entire .torrent but honestly most of us aren't motivated to seed a bunch of files we don't care about and is really only a last-stop effort in case the dedicated servers go down? Honest but true. Which take me to my suggestion:
It'd be nice if there was a way to divide the 1+ PB of individual files into different themes/Thema of roughly 50-100 GB each where users can download, say, a .csv file, that has a list of the .torrent/individual files that correspond to each theme that we're interested in. A theme could be history books, cooking, comics, engineering, magazines, whatever. Users could even create their own curated csv list of files. Then we could load the .csv file into a torrent client and download all the torrents/files within that theme and seed everything in that theme. The theme/csv file would be updated and distributed ~monthly or whatever so that new .torrent/files would be added to users' seedboxes. A new front-end for a torrent client would be needed to process the csv file.
I don't have the storage space for all 1+ PB of data, but I'll gladly allocate a couple TBs and store all of the things I'm interested in (engineering, physics, math, history, finance, etc...). Someone else will store all the things they're interested in (comics, anime, whatever). Through this, the files will be more resilient.
**The key is that breaking down seeding into themes and making downloading torrents more user friendly, you could probably get way more seeders. Having more users download via torrents will also encourage seeding because we see that our seeding is making a difference today rather than maybe some day in the future.
Do the 3rd party backend servers use the .torrent files to source files, convert the alphanumerical file names to human-readable names on the fly, and then send them to users via "direct download"? I'm assuming not... If not, it might be a benefit to switch to that model? Maybe have the already public facing servers act as temporary torrent clients to source the file from the backend servers and other seeders and then send to the end user. But that could expose the backend servers' IP addresses to other non-verified seeders and be a security problem. Might require a very precise configuration of the front end servers.
Also, the way it'd work for a user downloading a file is, if I search for a file via Anna's Archive, it'd point me to a .torrent/file that I would download (if I don't already have it), automatically select the single file to download, then once it's downloaded would copy and convert using metadata from the site the alphanumeric name into something more human readable but save the alphanumeric file to continue seeding. It would be great if there were a way to automate this process of downloading and seeding files inside the .torrents.
For most drive-by downloaders you'd still probably need dedicated slow servers.
Maybe there's an easy way to do this but this is the basic idea. I'd do it but it's been decades since I took (unrelated) programming classes and I'd have a steep learning curve. But I'm not against looking into it more.
Anyway just my thoughts. Thanks again for a great site!
Hi, I made a small browser extension that adds quick search buttons to book pages on Goodreads.
It detects the book’s title and ISBN and places buttons above the title section, letting you jump directly to Anna’s Archive using either ISBN or title. It also opens Libby and copies the book title to the clipboard, since Libby does not support direct search URLs.
The same extension also works on NeoDB ( , an open-source platform manage and explore collections, reviews, and ratings for various cultural products, including books, movies, music, podcasts, games, and performances) and Douban(a similar Chinese platform).
I built this mainly for personal use, but I’m sharing it in case others find it useful.
You can install it in one of the following ways:
Chrome
Chrome Web Store:
Firefox
Firefox Add-ons:
Tampermonkey
Install the userscript directly:
(Works on Chrome, Firefox, and other Tampermonkey-supported browsers)
If you use Tampermonkey on chrome-based browsers(chrome, edge etc.), please make sure you've enabled the "Allow User Scripts" toggle in Tampermonkey extension options. ( )
Hello! I'm about to donate right now through amazon. Any problem if the default message is sent in spanish? Or should I try with the generic english one?
Find it on our homepage!
Hello! Anyone having the same problem as me? Everytime I try to download a book this error pops up, I tried to use vpn and ad block but still nothing ;-;
So far my strategy has been sorting by newest open-source and picking whatever has a description/the nicest cover first (when I'm lazy), or comparing multiple and picking one with the most metadata (when I'm less lazy). I'm not sure if this is the most effective or efficient means tho, so I'd like to ask you guys if I'm going about this the right way.
Hi all,
I recently got the new kindel paperwhite 12th gen, an upgrade from my kindle paperwhite 10 gen (or so I thought). I logged in and the new kindle can see the books I have downloaded from AA but I get an error "An error has occurred. If you purchased this item from Amazon, remove the downloaded item and download it from the Cloud". I can see all the downloaded book covers, but get the error when I try to open them.
Problem 1:I can't download the books from Kindle to convert them in Calibre and I don't have them saved anywhere after I downloaded them and uploaded them to my kindle. Plus I am not super tech savvy to be able to follwo a 15 point process in Calibre.
Problem 2: I can still read the books on my Kindle app and 10 gen kindle so I don't want to delete the books from my Kindle and reupload them because then I would have 2 of all the books, right?
Any help or guidance would be appreciated.
I wanted to create an account, is that a good idea or not at all? I would need your opinion and as a developer to help the community
Heya !
This is my first time using Anna's archive :) ! Such an incredible idea and the amount of work put into it is phenomenal !!
I've been trying to transfer my first e-books (.EPUB) to my kindle (Gen 11), both trying the "send to kindle" site (got an error E999) and Calibre to send them. I even tried drag and dropping the .epub files dirfectly to the documents folder when having my Kindle connected via USB. I do see the files and they appear on the computer...But once I disconnect it they don't appear in my Kindle library....
Any idea of what I could try ? Or if I missed a step ?
I want to sincerely thank you for everything you guys are doing.
I'm writing my bachelor thesis and if only you knew how many academic sources are blocked behind a paywall, it's genuinely infuriating. After days of searching, i found your website and within it, all the sources i needed.
Honestly thank you so much!!
Hi everyone,
I am fresh off the boat so work with me.
What will it take to back up all data within the Archive minus the upcoming Spotify data?
Obviously we all know what the music corporations are like and I’d hate to see everything else lost as a side effect of what is coming up.
I am lucky enough to be able to chip in by building some offline storage (I know that isn’t the point of AA) but I’d like to know what is required to do my part.
Yesterday I was trying to donate the smallest amount like 5 usd but all the crypto sites said amount too small try different amount or crypto.. is this new error? I like to read some books here but I don't have the kind of money for 3 months cus I live in third world country
Any tips? Do you guys know if this will go away?
Very new to this site so I'm a little lost how you download the Spotify data that was just added to the site. is it even still available?
Will it be possible to select a filter criteria with number of download per file (decreasing) ? to get the most pertinent file when they're existing few copy of the same file .
Hi everyone. I'm having a little trouble finding the download link for the Spotify backup. I've already read the page content, but I couldn't locate the torrent. I'm new to the site and I'm still getting used to navigating it. If anyone could kindly guide me, I would be very grateful. Thank you in advance for your help.
Solved
Hi all, since yesterday almost all the epub and pfd files I've downloaded won't open or be "sent to kindle". Feels like they are all corrupted. Could not find any information on that either. Any ideas? Thanks and happy new year!
I'm curious why they haven't released all the Spotify torrents yet. Are they just trying to prolong the PR cycle and keep the discussion of this going longer? Is there some infrastructure constraint?
Edit: to be clear I'm not complaining here. I'm genuinely curious.
Just saw some new torrents available.
I just want to say thank YOU to all who makes Annas archive possible.
Your making it possible for an old man to read amazing books he never would have been able too otherwise.
First of all, I hope I am posting in the right place, I don't usually post but I need help. I've been reading a book a week for several months (I use my phone to read) and I notice how sometimes my eyes get tired...so I thought about getting an eReader. The fact is that most of the books I consume come from Annas Archive and I don't want to spend a fortune and then not be able to get the books from there. I have been looking at Kobo and Pocketbook (Kindle is too expensive for me because I would like it to be in color and not black and white) but I don't know how they work and I can't stop reading about what Caliber is necessary and I don't quite understand what it is either...
Hi, I have two questions.
-
Sorry if this is a newbie question, but how can I make sure that the content of a particular book wasn't edited by the uploader or by someone else? Is there any method to filter it out in search bar? I would like to be sure that what I'm reading is as close to the original as possible.
-
One more question. Why some .epub files will not contain the typical info that you would see on the first pages like: publisher, year of release, etc.? This stuff is usually on pdf, but less often on .epub.
How can I download the music from the site? Do you have an estimated timeline for when the music will be available for download? It would be great if you could also make the music available in WAV or MP3 320kbps, as DJs need music in these quality formats. Thank you.
I’m a journalist, and with the big news on Spotify - I want to contact the website at the very least.
If anyone can help that’s amazing
Thanks!
I was hoping to make a difference but it seems like nobody is downloading
Hello,
I am a junior network engineer with a little bit of storage at home. I wanted to know how to help ? I read the website but I didnt see a way to join Anna's Archive ?
I may have missed a line tho
Just can't make any single month donation because I aways get the error "This coin has a higher than usual minimum. Please select a different duration or a different coin.", no matter the type of coin I try to use.
Funny thing is, if I select up to 3 months, then it works. What's up with that? Isn't any money better than no money?
Just for the heck of it, I typed in True Confessions Magazine, a series of magazines I used to read, and so many old copies were available!! Keep up the good work, guys!
Hello all, I'm a geologist from Portugal, and I have several Excel files with, altogether, a million or so article entries. I was wondering if there is any program or script ready to use (I have some rudimentary Python knowledge) that would allow me to add an Excel file and, based on the title column or DOI when I have it, download the .pdfs. My objective is then to have a program that finds the link to the supplementary material within the article and downloads it, but that a future battle. Thanks!
I wrote a userscript that loads links to sci-hub and scidb wherever a doi appears on a page, but is that redundant? Is there anything that Sci-Hub has that SciDB doesn't?
I am not specifying the country because buying a server in any country is not a problem.
The question is, where is it legal?
Should I use MullvadVPN or ProtonVPN?
To help maintain the content?
Since I don't want to create accounts on places I'd only want to create a single comment, I thought I'd share here where I actually have an account.
First, this is commandable - no doubt. The task must be ridiculous.
However, my mind went "wait what" the minute I read this passage:
Over-focus on the highest possible quality. Since these are created by audiophiles with high end equipment and fans of a particular artist, they chase the highest possible file quality (e.g. lossless FLAC). This inflates the file size and makes it hard to keep a full archive of all music that humanity has ever produced.
And, then, later:
For
popularity>0, we got close to all tracks on the platform. The quality is the original at 160kbit/s. Metadata was added without reencoding the audio (and an archive of diff files is available to reconstruct the original files from Spotify, as well as a metadata file with original hashes and checksums).
For
popularity=0, we got files representing about half the number of listens (either original or a copy with the same ). The audio is reencoded to [OGG Opus]( at 75kbit/s — sounding the same to most people, but noticeable to an expert.
So, you pretend to be "archiving all music mankind has ever produced" but you are going to do it by basically destroying half the data because of the convenience? Don't get me wrong, I know that lossless data takes a lot of space. To me, even if this is a humongus task, you are doing things half-heartedly. Sure, a large amount of that music have other sources like CDs that can be bit-perfectly ripped losslessly with EAC or XLD. However, there is music that is stuck on Spotify, that is not available anywhere else***** that actually could use to be downloaded and kept in lossless (I can even link a few albums...) but decide not to because, well, in a nutshell, it's inconvenient. If you were to get that much data, I'd call sunk cost fallacy and go the whole way.
To me, archiving + lossy does not compute (and I work in that domain, mind you). If that was video (say, archiving Netflix), I'd understand more as, 1. the copies on the server aren't lossless, 2. it's already heavily compressed and 3., archiving the whole in lossless 4K video would take Exabytes of data (a 1h SD video encoded with huffyuv in an AVI container is ~45-50GB; gives you an idea). However, for music, at CD quality (16-bit 44.1khz), the size is a fraction of this and keeping a lossless copy is much more realistic than video. The average 60 minute album is roughly 400-450 MB (this amount can vary wildly depending on music complexity and mastering). Sure, OGG @ 160kbps is something like 70-75 MB for an hour and the difference between 400MB and 70MB is pretty large but still much smaller than video (400 MB vs. 50GB).
To reiterate: I understand the task at hand is a giant endeavor and, even compressed, that's a huge amount of data. Still, don't do it half-heartedly and get the releases in lossless because that's what "archiving" actually means: keeping something in the best state available as much as possible.
So, please, reconsider.
Thank you.
=============
* Examples of music stuck on Spotify. These albums, even incomplete, contain long versions of certain songs that never made it on other releases in these complete versions. Some are still stuck only as super cut down non-stop (dj mix) versions or "radio edits". I'm sure people could point out to other releases either by labels or self-published that were only made available on Spotify and the artist is MIA or in copyright limbo.
Exhibit 1: (original release is a 3-discs set and 2 discs with 50 songs dj'd together and the 3rd disc being a DVD)
Exhibit 2: (as another variation where you can compare the lengths)
Exhibit 3: (this was originally a dj mix where each songs were a few seconds each to fit under 80 minutes)
Exhibit 4: (as another variation where you can compare the lengths)
I'm trying to download a pretty large book around 261MB for my studies and I literally cannot download it because the process stops at 1% of the download and the 1% took around 30 mins, I tried downloading it the whole day and when it was at 11% it just stopped
I would love to donate. I am looking to download a bunch of books for myself and my partner. I am wondering if you donate do you get unlimited slow downloads and then the advertised fast downloads? I keep hitting the limit wall on downloads.

Hi everyone,I’ve been wondering if there’s any possibility (now or in the future) for Anna’s Archive to extract or mirror files from sites like Sciarium and Twirpx.The point system on those platforms is honestly pretty frustrating, and the download limits are tough to work around. I basically have zero experience with VPNs and no budget right now to pay for one, so getting around the IP bans isn’t really an option for me.It would be amazing if AA could eventually pull in some of that content (especially the more obscure technical books and papers that are trapped behind those walls).Is this something the team has ever considered, or is it technically/impractical for some reason? Just curious about the feasibility.Thanks a lot for everything you do—this project is a lifesaver!
No matter what book I choose or link I use, I get a “can’t reach server“ message. It’s happening on 4 different devices and 2 different IP addresses. I can open some of the “read in browser” links, but no download links. Anyone know what’s going on? And yes, I have cleared my cache, deleted cookies, restarted devices and tried different browsers. This does not seem to be a “me” problem.
I had it working on my phone after disabling the Brave overly sensitive unsafe website download filter, but then it stopped working again, seemingly downloading normally, but saying “download failed” at the very end. I can paste the links into safari, but that is annoying.
We've released over a million books (and other materials) from different sources. Big thanks to all our volunteers who have helped preserve these files.
Hi , i have a music app for myself i made it for myself (feel free to dm to use it) and i want to access the torrents of music , but specific ones. maybe theres some filters ? or a browser . or the whole library is just bulk?
First things first, thank Anna's Archive for your wonderful backup from Spotify.
I hope you can provide us with these tracks in FLAC and MP3 at 360 kbps.
After that, please store everything in Netflix before all series are dragged down by copyright.
Comics is the same, there are many big sites which have been put down by copyright.
We hope to see these above things come true.
Love you.
I need some help making a bitcoin payment from my wallet. I'm not sure I'm doing it correctly and honestly afraid of accidently sending my entire BTC balance to the address provided by the Anna's website.
Can someone who is familiar with assist me? I have looked at the help articles and they are painfully ambiguous or too general and do not provide details on a question I have.
Thanks!
I just want to say thank you to the team of Annas Archive. My family doesn't have the money to buy a lot of books, let alone specific books when doing resreach. But the reason why I love Annas is the reason why corporations hate you. Because they would rather milk us for cash to ensure we never have the same ressources to educate ourselfs to the point we could escape the hamster wheel. YOU ARE HEROS. Don't let the government or anybody else tell you otherwise. Keep going, you are doing something good on this planet!
Is there a way to submit you my songs directly so i don't have to wait until you find me on spotify?
Hello, everyone. I'd like to read this book (Palästinajahrbuch des Deutschen Evangelischen..., this specific volume), and found it zipped on AA, but so far haven't been able to open it. I've done some research, but still nothing works. Does anyone know how to "open" or compile this kind of book?
It's probably already been asked, but I've just downloaded one book and went to download another, but it keeps telling me that I've downloaded too many today.
One book is too many?
I've cleared cache and whatnot and tried a different browser, but I'm getting the same message.
Is this the new normal now or is it something else?
Thank you.
I want this book for uni and couldnt find it on thalia or the local library for some reason. I found it on Anna's archives though. Are the slow downloads safe in germany? I won't get fines or warnings?
So I made a post yesterday about how I could no longer download books. Well I've tried it with a few books now and have successfully downloaded and loaded them. Before I was only using Google Chrome but I switched over to Firefox and so far this has fixed the issue for me. I have downloaded from the "slow server 1" multiple times now with no issues. I'm not sure how many of you that commented on my previous post use Chrome, but I do believe it's worth a try to use Firefox instead. I'm really curious to see how many of you that helps. If so, the issue may lie with Google. Good luck! I hope this works for you all
Thank you! My life will be incomplete without books and you guys are truly amazing...I wish you guys all the love and happiness. I truly appreciate what you are doing. Thank you again ❤️
im seeing from posts and comments here that lots of people are having issues with downloads, and certain solutions dont seem to be working (differenet vpns, different browsers, different slow partner links, and still no luck). with libgen and aaaaarg pretty much dead, this seems like it could be bad for those relying on this kind of site for research. so my question is: until this is resolved, what other options are available?
I've tried the alternative sites, every download partner and nothing is working. It was all working fine yesterday and I can access the site and search etc. just fine but I always get "site can't be reached" message when actually trying to download the book. I'm in U.S.
EDIT: As of 6am mst on 31st Oct. the whole site is now down for me, it just perpetually loads and stays on a black screen 😰😭
Is this just me, or is it everyone?
Hello!
I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing problems with the files not downloading. It's been like that for me since last night.
Another post mentioned the website not loading, but it does for me. I can search for books, select the file I want, verify my being a human, and when I click "Download now" the file shows up on my downloads tab thingy but immediately fails.
I've tried Firefox and Chrome; with and without VPN; from my PC, laptop, and phone. No dice. I live in South America, in case that's relevant.
Any help would be appreciated!
Hello, I have had trouble with loading any pages on the Anna’s archive website all afternoon and night today 10/27 into the morning 10/28/25 and was wondering if the site is down or if anyone else is having issues with it? Trying to rule out a problem on my end! Thanks
Hi there, thanks for this wonderful website!
I am a music lover who owns a large collection of music recording booklet scans (mostly in pdf files). Wondering if these can be added into the database? If yes, which platform shall I upload to? z-lib?
Cheers,
I went to donate to be a member again but it says something went wrong - is this happening to anyone else? I was able to send an amazon gift card "the old way" but it isnt reflecting on my membership. I emailed everything to annas archive but im wondering if anyone has had this issue and what to do?
