Size 177.96GB. I dare to say contains among the best books of their fields and are supposed not to repeat. It is a extremely well ordered collection by topic, and if you compare the size you soon see its value. Topics range from mathematics, physics, psychology, self improvement, survivalism, the best science fiction and fantasy literature, comics, magazines, and more. Magazines takes about 75 GB and there are many youtube videos, documentaries and conferences so you can exclude these if you want to. All books combined takes about 40 GB or so. But i really recommend downloading other stuff too since you can't really find it somewhere else easily. Did I mention is well sorted and contains only the best books?

Data is cheap nowadays. its only $30 per TB if you buy the best value. 200gb is nothing.

>>1018193

I dont like IPFS. Their solution seems too complex for their goal. It also seems to waste alot of bandwidth in peer discovery.

>>1018357

I'll download later. Network here isn't great.

>>1018452

>torrents and ipfs are gay shit which expose your ip

Although troll. Its true that this is a risk in any highly decentralised service. You're connecting to any and every seeder/leecher with a corresponding file. You're broadcasting more information about you than you would if you communicated with a single, maybe compromised, server. Though peer to peer almost never block Tor and VPN users.

I would almost suggest that /tech/ launches its own information network akin to private trackers. But quality controll and CP would be a huge issue. plus it will die the same way torrents did, a select few who seed everything.

To make a nice backup of libgen you still need 60tb (raid 1) which is around $1800 and it's not exactly portable.

A libgen-lite containing only one edition of the 99.9%most dowloaded books (or whatever is needed to come just below 4tb) in pdf and mobile format could do wonders.

I dont know how many copies of libgen are around. I hope more than 1 at least. Though 60TB is indeed a bit too inconvenient despite "data being cheap" nowadays.

>A libgen-lite containing only one edition of the 99.9%most dowloaded books

That would be nice. Though I think it would be better if people would also allocate space for barely duplicated works. All public libraries should suppport and keep records of digital information. Its weird to me that publicly funded libraries understand the need to have computers and index their physical books but dont heed to any online information and free books.

most of these giant "ebook" packs end up being nothing more than collections of 99% huge optical scans in pdf form, that look and read like shit, and that nobody actually reads. It's great if you want/need an archive of sauce, but as a usable library of books... not so much.

to be fair, though, i think it's a legacy of anons wanting to pirate textbooks which at least historically meant it was going to be a pdf. I'm not sure if that's still the case or if epub/mobi does image-heavy books sufficiently well, but i do know that these goddamn 100GB+ pdf packs are virtually worthless if anyone wants to put a 8" e-ink reader to good use.

libgen has a lot of redundancy (multiple copies of the same book) and many are poorly compressed PDFs which are basically just images.

Its not Illegal. Once the copyright on a book expires it becomes part of the "Public Domain". Despite copyright being pushed ad infinitum doesn't mean there aren't books and articles in the public domain that can be distributed by third parties.

I downloaded this torrent a while back. It is the sort of collection that a stoner who classifies himself as a genius would produce and spread. Not to say that there isn't good stuff in it, but most of the collection is full of hot takes and books at approximately the quality of those shitty popular self-help books with titles including the word "f*ck" (censorship theirs) or a variation of. Not to mention all the random pre-2012 memes that say "wake up sheeple" in more or less words, pics related, just some images from the "POLITICS" folder.

I don't think very many are, make your own. If its tech, you can probably find it on libgen. As an added bonus, you are probably more likely to actually read them if you had to hunt for em.

I forgot what it was called, but that's why I expected a disorganized pile of shit. Maybe I'd bother if it was entirely tech related, but I already have plenty of that.

It's odd that this originally came from /lit/ because the literature selection in this torrent is very scattershot. You've got a bunch of random entry-level classics (and quite a few not-so-classics), you've got a section labelled "complex" with more entry-level books like Lolita, and then you've got a "prose" section with some of the most difficult to read books of all time. I have an inkling he hasn't read many of the books in his selection.
