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 Torrents that are crossed out have been superseded by newer torrents, for example because newer metadata has become available.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

Wait, fr? These aren't even the final versions of the torrents? You might start seeding multiple terabytes of data and someone goes "lol nm here's _final_final_3.aac" Absolutely bonkers way to do this. Put hard drives in an arctic vault or something, it would make more sense than this.
