    I didn’t know about Anna’s torrents and got super excited, then looked it up and got really confused. How am I supposed to know which of these torrents hold which books?! There’s probably a guide or search I didn’t find, but I’m genuinely unsure how to use these thousands of torrent files.

    I mean, given the mission to preserve a large amount of humanity’s knowledge, that’s bound to be a complex system, so I’m definitely not surprised it isn’t immediately straightforward. A guide would definitely be useful, though.

      Anna’s torrents are mostly meant for archival not user access. You could probably piece together what books are where bases off their identifier but I haven’t used it enough to really say yea or nay, I just know the site exists.

        You make a great point! From the standpoint of archival, that system makes a lot more sense.
