Yeh it’s going down. this is just the beginning:
I made a mega link of the 200 or so books I collected over time here: https://mega.nz/folder/KzwG2DYY#WCJfoGA39Y_bihJ9RTZPpA. There’s a lot of stuff including Chomsky and Trotsky lol, but also very good authors like Kwame Nkrumah, Parenti, and Fanon.
Also would lemmygrad or ProleWiki (@muad_dibber@lemmygrad.ml @felipeforte@lemmygrad.ml ) be open to opening a (private?) tracker on their website? We could p2p files to the masses with it directly. You know, add a little nfo that reads “This archive was made available through ProleWiki.com” or something. Though I don’t suspect there would be as much traffic as thepiratebay, I figure it’s essentially a 0-cost service (unless I completely misunderstand trackers lol)
There’s no need for a private tracker, we can just post the torrents publicly. I have a 1337x.to account (mainly for my audiobooks) so I can post it to there, and add it to https://torrents-csv.ml too. That prolewiki line you can add to the torrent comments.
“Also would lemmygrad or ProleWiki (@muad_dibber@lemmygrad.ml @felipeforte@lemmygrad.ml ) be open to opening a (private?) tracker on their website?”
I have no idea how to do that, but sure, if someone from the administration knows, we can try to set it up.
Here’s one socialist_books_starter_pack.
But ya that’s a bit old and doesn’t have a lot of the newly digitized books.
I’ve never made a torrent before, but it can’t be that hard. Maybe I can use this as a starting point.
Its not too difficult. If you use an ebook manager like calibre, it’ll let you export to a folder, that you can then make a torrent out of.
What is the status of this project?
how is this going?
Update 2: It’s coming along quite nicely, I got all the foundational essentials and whatnot. I’m finding it’s not that hard to convert html files to ebooks but it is tedious so maybe I can automate it somehow.
here is a sneak peak!
UPDATE: I am in the process of ripping marxists.org and processing it into a neat file structure.
Perhaps you would be interested in our library in ProleWiki.
Any contribution is a good one!
