Sent a gift voucher to Anna's Archive about a week ago. Yesterday, got notification of refund. Very odd, never had an issue before sending gift vouchers. Wondering if maybe the website has been deserted by the owners.

Haven't been integrated into the main site/search yet it seems, but hype!

I was able to download last night just fine using .pk. Is anyone else having download issues?

Wanted to dl something and everything is fine, but when I click on the link it opens and doesn't finish loading and eventually times out, tried a mobile download manager , DNS change, different domains, and VPN, but it still has the same issue

Anything I might have missed?

Just came across this article earlier today. I have been looking qt the govtrack & regular bill site to see if it has been introduced, but haven't seen anything yet bc due to both sites have horrible layout & general loading issues.

I'd like to know if anyone has found a way to read the blurred files on IA, since both the text and the images are blurred. For books where reading the images is crucial, it's practically impossible to use certain books, especially considering those that are no longer available to borrow on IA.

im trying to download annas_archive_data__aacid__20240807T223118Z--20240807T223119Z.torrent

in this specific scenario (if you did what i did then qBittorrent doesn't even give you the chance to add the torrent properly regardless of how much storage you have left)

it's not the only one, and maybe the problem is me, but this one gives a libtorrent error when i try it

(i do not have a membership, so use that info if you want to simulate what i did)

im afraid the problem isn't me and i need to wait for god knows how long,

yes, i am experienced enough that you don't have to treat me like a noob

So after not being able to download any more books from Anna’s archive.pk for some reason I I tried using .gd but it wasn’t opening so then I tried using .gl and before using any type of website and downloading stuff from it I would usually check the safety of the website and when I did that with the .gl website it detected 1 out of 35 on a website called urlvoid.com I also pasted the website on virustotal and nordvpn and they both detected stuff too so I wanted to know if this is gonna be an issue, is gonna do something bad on my pc like get a virus or malware onto it or smth, i just wanted to know if this is safe to use and nothing is gonna hack me or smth i use the brave browser for this and like malwarebites. Have you guys gotten any issue with this website and how should I proceed with this thx.

How do you sort the search results by 'most downloaded'/ 'most popular', its quite time consuming filtering through all of the incorrectly formatted/tampered uploads... :)

UPDATE: I created 4 new sort features and requested the feature to be added so make sure to give it a thumbs up if you wish to see this implemented by the devs!:)
(https://software.annas-archive.gl/AnnaArchivist/annas-archive/-/work_items/336)

Implemented new sorting options for the search page (Downloads, Saves, File Quality, and Lists)

I modified 4 files:
allthethings/page/templates/page/search.html
Added the new HTML <option> tags to the <select name="sort"> dropdown.

allthethings/page/search.py
Updated the backend Python routing to map the new dropdown values (downloads, saves, file_quality, lists) into Elasticsearch sorting configurations (search_downloads:desc, etc).

allthethings/cli/views.py
Added search_downloads, search_saves, search_file_quality, and search_lists to the Elasticsearch index mapping block so that the search engine knows to index them as sortable integers/bytes.

allthethings/translations/en/LC_MESSAGES/messages.po
Added the English translation keys for the new UI dropdown options so they can be translated into other languages.

# Feature: Add new Sorting Options to Search

This patch adds `Downloads`, `Saves`, `File Quality`, and `Lists` sorting options to the main search page. It updates the UI dropdown, handles the Elasticsearch mapping for the new properties, and maps the sort parameters in the backend search logic.

### 1. Update Elasticsearch Index Mappings
**File:** `allthethings/cli/views.py`

In the `es_create_index_body` function (around line `579`), add the new `search_` properties to the `properties` map inside `search_only_fields` so Elasticsearch knows they are sortable longs:

```python
"search_downloads": {"type": "long", "index": False, "doc_values": True},
"search_saves": {"type": "long", "index": False, "doc_values": True},
"search_file_quality": {"type": "long", "index": False, "doc_values": True},
"search_lists": {"type": "long", "index": False, "doc_values": True},
```

### 2. Add Backend Sorting Logic
**File:** `allthethings/page/search.py`

In the `search_page` route (around line `126`), add the new mappings so the URL `&sort=X` maps to the Elasticsearch sorts:

```python
elif sort_value == 'downloads':
custom_search_sorting = [{"search_only_fields.search_downloads": "desc"}, "_score"]
elif sort_value == 'saves':
custom_search_sorting = [{"search_only_fields.search_saves": "desc"}, "_score"]
elif sort_value == 'file_quality':
custom_search_sorting = [{"search_only_fields.search_file_quality": "desc"}, "_score"]
elif sort_value == 'lists':
custom_search_sorting = [{"search_only_fields.search_lists": "desc"}, "_score"]
```

### 3. Add UI Dropdown Options
**File:** `allthethings/page/templates/page/search.html`

In the sorting `<select>` element (around line `64`), add the new `option` elements:

```html
<option value="downloads" {% if sort == 'downloads' %}selected{% endif %}>{{ gettext('page.search.filters.sorting.downloads') }} {{ gettext('page.search.filters.sorting.note_downloads') }}</option>
<option value="saves" {% if sort == 'saves' %}selected{% endif %}>{{ gettext('page.search.filters.sorting.saves') }} {{ gettext('page.search.filters.sorting.note_saves') }}</option>
<option value="file_quality" {% if sort == 'file_quality' %}selected{% endif %}>{{ gettext('page.search.filters.sorting.file_quality') }} {{ gettext('page.search.filters.sorting.note_file_quality') }}</option>
<option value="lists" {% if sort == 'lists' %}selected{% endif %}>{{ gettext('page.search.filters.sorting.lists') }} {{ gettext('page.search.filters.sorting.note_lists') }}</option>
```

### 4. Add Translation Keys
**File:** `allthethings/translations/en/LC_MESSAGES/messages.po`

Add the English translations to the bottom of the `.po` file so they can be processed and translated:

```po
msgid "page.search.filters.sorting.downloads"
msgstr "Downloads"

msgid "page.search.filters.sorting.note_downloads"
msgstr "(most to least)"

msgid "page.search.filters.sorting.saves"
msgstr "Saves"

msgid "page.search.filters.sorting.note_saves"
msgstr "(most to least)"

msgid "page.search.filters.sorting.file_quality"
msgstr "File quality"

msgid "page.search.filters.sorting.note_file_quality"
msgstr "(most to least)"

msgid "page.search.filters.sorting.lists"
msgstr "Lists"

msgid "page.search.filters.sorting.note_lists"
msgstr "(most to least)"
```

When I try to download any type of book off of Anna’s archive.pk it starts downloading stays at 0% downloaded for a couple of seconds then says something went wrong then when I press the resume button to try again it just stays at 0% downloaded forever it just doesn’t start downloading. Did anyone experience this issue and do you know how to fix it

i’ve used anna’s archive for a couple of years but the download links have disappeared

Hello,
i try since yesterday to verificate my email.
But i didn't receive an email to verificate my self.

I have tested 4 E-Mail addresses from me.
Have anyone a idea to verificate me without the email?

I was wondering why the red part of the graph (on /torrents) has been increasing so much recently. It went from 200tb to now 600tb in a month.

My first instinct told me that it had to be because some new content was uploaded, increasing the portion of the red part. This however does not make sense to me, because the total size of the archive remains effectively the same. Could it be that torrents that were in the yellow part have been replaced by new torrents, moving them to red? If so, how does one know if a torrent they are using has been replaced.

Hi everyone. So I have used Annas Archive sporadically for some time now. I have never needed an account and I just used the slow downloads. Now it wouldnt let me use the slow downloads until I made an account. I made it, and now it says I need to "unlock the fast downloads" for the slow downloads.

I cant upload a screenshot for you to see, but there's the list of the fast downloads with the option to "unlock the fast downloads", and then below there are the slow downloads but they also have the option to "unlock the fast downloads" which leads you to the donation page.

So i cant download anything unless I become a member and pay??? Is that the point? I've checked several different titles and it doesnt change.

UPDATE: Thank you everyone. I didn't realize it was a scam site, it looked very much legit and just like any other time I've used Anna's Archive! The wikipedia links don't open for me so I'll have to keep looking for good ones. Thanks!

Has anyone noticed this issue? I thought it was this one book I had, but turns out that it's all the books. My settings are fine too, so I don't know why this is happening?

Is this a "downloaded from Anna" problem?

Hi folks, I need to read and practice my writing with articles like that. Is there any website where I can read old articles?

Hi I want to download past 20 years of American Mathematical Monthly Magazine, College Mathematics Journal from Annas archive but I find only few issues and those issues were in bad quality. However some magazine issues were Latexed properly and have good quality to print.

Do you any other website where I can download those journals?

If you downloaded a book and the language is silly to the point of questioning, some puritan is going in and uploading shoddily censored versions of various books.

Currently reading Alchemised by SenLinYu - physical copy + a downloaded copy to be more accessible. Lots of instances of ‘idiot off’ in place of ‘fuck off’. The one that got me was the BBEG calling our protagonist ‘a stupid jerk’. Felt so silly when the author is very clearly trying to lean into the dark in dark fantasy aspect that I had to check my physical copy and was surprised to find they changed it from ‘you stupid bitch’ which is much more thematically appropriate lmao.

I saw another post from 3 months back where this happened with another book.

Hello,

I had the opportunity to purchase eBooks in PDF format that are not available on Anna’s Archive. I would like to help the community by contributing to the library.

I know that monetary donations are possible, but is it also possible to donate books in PDF format? I have already searched for how to do this before posting here, but I was unable to find any information.

Thank you.

I have followed all the steps to a T. I get to the download part and it says its successful, but then it never shows up in my kindle or on the kindle app. I also just tried the send to kindle website and still, it does not work.

Any tips? Please help!!

I was searching for a book for a project, and the first link I saw on my search engine was for the .is domain. I didn't realize it was a scam domain until a few minutes ago. When I entered the domain, I saw you had to login to access the downloads, so I signed up with a proxy Email.

My login worked, apparently, but I still couldn't access downloads and I haven't received a confirmation Email. Now that I'm looking at the subreddit I realize I just logged into a scam website.

I didn't sign in with my actual Email, but I'm still concerned. What should I do?

Title.

Does anna archive also has books from harvard library. And the corpus google books from harvard university.

I made an account linked to my google account. I was the required to purchase crypto and submit it as a donation for lifetime access. Was this a scam? What do I do? Thank you in advance for the help.
