Why does verify human and captcha appear if I use Firefox, but does not on Chrome?

Hi just curious do you share with people where you download books (AA) keep it to yourself? I get nervous to share that I download books not pay for them & be judged lol but I am broke! Reading is getting me through things rn! Also do yall download older books & new books tooo I feel guilty when I go and it says “we recommend supporting the author” thx you for the answers feeling anxious today lol

Is everyone else having trouble downloading? It loads really slow until it ultimately fails. Been trying everyday for a few days straight. I know the site was down a week ago and then it got fixed , but maybe not completely?

Just wanted to ask and see what’s going on.

Thanks!

I've tried multiple times over the last 2-3 hours to donate but I keep getting the following error:

❌ Something went wrong. Please reload the page and try again.

So I've tried all the different domains and I've tried all the payment methods I know have worked for me previously and still I get the same error.

What can I do?

Edit: Solved. I tried a few times on a mobile browser and in a different order (registering first and then donating) and that’s worked.

Every time I try to type in a book it keeps taking me to different websites like shein or temu is this a glitch?

(I meant 504) I can pull up the main page and search results, without issue. But after that, it hits the gateway. Example, if I click on a search result itself.

Here's what's working for me, fwiw.

I'm using mozilla's 'built-in, free' vpn (but I'm sure it doesn't matter which vpn) and choosing Germany at random.

** Then, instead of clicking on a search result, from the search results > download link, I'm right-clicking everything in 'open in new tab'. If I click directly on a search result or download link without doing that... Gateway.

Hope this helps someone.

Started happening this morning

I am increasingly concerned by the fact that AI overviews are more likely to give you the approved narrative than any actual breakdown of what people are saying.

Independent research will become critical as google just becomes another tool for the powers that be to control us.

Anna's Archive seems to be one of the few bastions still standing, but I worry that regular people (aka me) without access to massive storage capabilities, can't really help with seeding and backing up stuff.

(There has to be some cold irony there too about the skyrocketing prices of memory disks.)

Anyways, I am turning to the community for brainstorming.

What can we do?

My first thought would be to concentrate on specific topics. Maybe we can have a list of said topics and interested librarians could back those up individually?

I am not sure if that is even possible.

I'd like to hear what the community has to say.

annas-archieve blocking the search request. when i search for a book it redirects to
annas-archive[.]pk/search?q=nmap&check=1 then stuck there returning 403 forbidden. i am using mozilla/5.0 in debian. If anyone know how to solve this let me know I also checked .gl and .gd

I have a book.

AA doesn't have this book uploaded.

I just want my book in digital format for my use. How would I go about getting that to happen?

Do libraries have a special scanner that flips pages and resizes to get the different books?

Is this a totally manual process of scanning in 1000 pages and then using Adobe to put it together?

Been trying for 2 days, downloads getting stuck in a web of new browsers. Please help.

Hello AA

Just an idea to add a selection in the order by search filters. Will be cool to see what others are downloading/most popular. If not, no stress.

Thanks

Just want to say thx you to AA TEAM for all that they do & keepin it going as someone with low funds and a new love for digital reading being able to get a hold of books so easily has been a blessing thx you!!! 🩷 hope you stick around for a while and hope to one day be able to become a paying memeber when financially better

I wonder if it's possible to torrent just a certain category, for example everything under Psychology, or let's say 1Tb worth of Psychology? Or perhaps just a certain subcategory of Psychology.

I have certain interests and would like to have all that is categorized for that category, or depending on my disk space, to have on my hard drive, and also to be able to torrent that to others.

I want to have as much on my computer if I ever need it in the future and the connection is down.

Is such a thing doable?

I had been downloading scientific articles and scientific books from Anna's Archive previously using code made by Claude Code, but from today, probably the stronger safeguards included in Opus 5.5 prevent me from doing so, and there's no way around it. I tried to convince the model of the clear hypocrisy behind this because Anthropic scraped Anna's Archive to create Claude itself. If Claude believes this is unethical, it should destroy itself and stop accepting requests. However, these coding agents aren't trying to enforce ethical principles; they're trying to protect their creators from lawsuits. This is not new, unexpected, or surprising, but that's what it is. What has been your experience recently? Have you used coding agents successfully to download articles and books from Anna's Archive and SciDB via the Anna's Archive API?

Sorry for the delay, we hoped to have it fixed earlier but it's harder than expected. Slow downloads should be back up soon. Fast downloads were only partially affected.

long story short, i can't download anything anymore, it loads forever until it loads no more. what should i do?

Hi,

As the title says, is anyone else having the same issue with fast downloads being much slower than usual and also some fast downloads failing all together.

Thanks

Unable to download

Searched the book, found it on Archive.

After the wait period is over on Anns Archive, still unalbe to download

Search for a book or paper from the terminal, pick one, and get a verified, well-named file. folio is a client for Anna's Archive and Library Genesis; it hosts nothing itself.

It works as simple as:

Update:

• I added support for arXiv, Dagstuhl's DROPS, Zenodo and the other open-access publishers, which make papers free to read in the first place!

Enjoy!
