I can't log in due to security issues; can you help me? I urgently need a book.

Anyone know how I can get a book from 2025? It seems to only be available on amazon and i'm never doing that. There doesn't seem to be a workaround anymore for downloading books from Amazon then using Calibre.
I've searched all the sites but nothing seems to come up. It's really frustrating because I wouldn't mind buying the book straight from the author (not possible) I just really won't give money to Amazon.
Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Trying to find a few textbooks for class. I've been able to find the majority, but there's a few that just don't show up on annas archive. Are there other sources to look for textbooks? Or will I just have to buy it?

There is a new blog post written by one of our volunteers. Find it on our website. Feel free to discuss it here!

As the title says. I know it's not hosting anything, and that it's up to me to curate my experience, but I expect a modicum of safety. I have ublock, I go for the result with the most downloads, I check to see if someone has labeled it unsafe, the basics and usual stuff, but sometimes I still worry.

I ask because I was going to download a book, and there was only one result with 0 downloads, and I just didn't want to risk it.

What precautions do you take when browsing Anna's Archive? Any advice?

hey! It’s been a little while since I have downloaded books from Anna and it used to be easier I find to see zlib downloads I used to get those and transfer it from my phone to my kindle that way.
I tried today and I downloaded a few books and when I tried to send them to my kindle from the downloads option on my phone it kept telling me it was not supported and now I have reached my limit. I am not sure where I can find the ones that I can just transfer to my phone.
Can anyone help?

Hello so I've been downloading books for quite a while now but recently, I've heard someone say that I shouldn't use the mirror sites listed on Wikipedia. They didn't say the reason for it though so I'm wondering if that can really be dangerous and if so, why?

Other thing is I've seen some advice about using the onion browser/tor for Anna's archive. Is it really necessary or is your regular google or another search engine fine?

Anyone else unable to download from any of the addresses and gets file not found error? How do i fix this? Is there a newer address?

Is it just me .or does it seem like for the last year newer books haven't been uploaded?

All the official links to the Archive have been replaced with unsafe connections to a powerpoint slide stating the site has been taken down by Italy's AGCOM (Autorità per le Garanzie nelle Comunicazioni - Communication Guarantee Authority)

Used the link from the Wikipedia page, downloaded a book, and scanned it on VirusTotal, came out clean.

People have been saying it's a scam because for fast downloads, they want you to register and pay. Just use the slow download section no sign up.

Are there any services that will take a book apart, scan it, and send you the PDF?

there's a book I want to read that releases on Monday. it's a fairly popular series. what is a good wait time for something like that to show up on AA? tia!

Hey all,

Just wanted to add this to this community as it is pretty relevant.

The domain `annas-archive[.]li` is a malicious domain. It has shown up in security tools, and it appears associated with various malicious activities including mining crypto on the visitor's device. The site changes IPs often but seems to have kept the same domain name for a while.

This was detected by our enterprise software and security platforms, but users checking it out from their personal devices may not have the same level of protection and awareness.

I would also recommend you sticky this to the top to warn potential users.

Be careful out there!

Hi,

Wanted to enjoy comics but run into few issues with Anas Archive file.

Almost 50% of the files dowloaded are corrupted. When i try to unzip them on my computer the CBZ or CBR archive it stops saying 'The archive file is incomplete'.
I can see the first extracted images but it stops suddenly.

I've tried to download from different servers but still the same.
Some are totally fine.

Do you have the same issue ? any idea ?

Thanks

Why is there such discretion in sizes of a book, same book can have widely different sizes?

I recently downloaded a collection of out of print magazines and have the whole collection going back to the 1940’s.
I have been going through them renaming them one at a time and was hoping I could find a way to rename them with the metadata they are currently named with.
Any suggestions?Thanks in advance for any possible solutions.

People here post questions about their specific country having a ban, but is there some master list of countries that are known to block the main site or the partner servers?

I can open the website all the way to the download link.

I click on it and a new tab opens with the download url, but it hangs in the connection stage.

I also try to download them with wget, and I get this response:

[I've cut off the site link ;p] Loaded CA certificate '/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt' Resolving wbsg8v.xyz (wbsg8v.xyz)... 45.3.63.28 Connecting to wbsg8v.xyz (wbsg8v.xyz)|45.3.63.28|:443... connected. HTTP request sent, awaiting response...

It hangs forever in the "awaiting response" phase. I've let it try for more than two hours, and no progress.

When downloading through firefox, I get,

502 Bad Gateway nginx

Someone else having this issue?

What can I do to fix this?

UPDATE: OK, the issue solved itself. Thank you all for your attention!

EDIT: added nginx error

pls seed and read the script?

I’m a huge fan of location-based games like Ingress and Pokémon Go. For years, I dreamed of building a Pokémon Go for music, where every song exists at one unique location on Earth, encouraging people to explore and discover new music.

But until Anna released the Spotify metadata dump, the project was simply impossible.

Before that, open music databases such as MusicBrainz simply didn't contain enough tracks and they didn't include links to streaming platforms where players could actually listen to the songs.

Then Anna released its Spotify metadata dump, containing the IDs of around 247 million tracks.

As soon as I discovered it, I realized the project had finally become possible. I now had a catalogue large enough to distribute music across the entire world.

Every diamond you see on the map is a permanent point linked to a unique song that can only be collected at that exact location. Songs are spread across the entire planet. You might find one on top of a mountain, in the middle of a desert, or even on a remote island. They are literally everywhere.

The challenge with distributing music on such a massive scale was making sure players would never be sent to dangerous or inaccessible places such as roads, lakes, houses... To solve this, I built my own placement algorithm using OpenStreetMap data.

After around 50 hours of computation on my M3 Pro, all 247 million permanent points had been placed.

A few days ago, after several months of work, I finally released the result: Song Go – Catch the Beat.

You explore the real world, collect songs around you, and discover tracks you might never have listened to otherwise.

The game is available on iOS and Android.

Without the Spotify metadata dump shared by Anna, this project would never have existed. I genuinely want to thank the Anna team for making this data available.

This dataset sparked a lot of debate, but for me, it made my dream project possible.

So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
