Has anyone found a way to read blurred IAs books?

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.

Is this gonna be an issue

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 to Sort Search Results by 'most downloaded'/'most popular'

How do you sort the searc h 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 `&amp;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 `&lt;select&gt;` element (around line `64`), add the new `option` elements:


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


### 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)"
```

Stupidly Censored Uploads

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.

account is useless?

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!

Why is the red part of the stats graph increasing

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.

LOC instead of pages on kindle?

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?

Math journals

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?

I logged into .is without realizing it was a scam Domain. What do I do?

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?

How do you download on Anna’s archives? No download links

Hi all, I am a long time user of Anna’s archives but there now seems to be no download links! There always used to be fast and slow download links but they have now completely disappeared!

I have followed the offical links from Wikipedia so should be on an official site

Can I use Anna’s Archive as a replacement for Sp0tify/music streaming services?

I grew up on Spotify for music (my parents pay a family plan) but with everything and the way the world is I can’t use it anymore without a guilty conscious. It has stopped me from enjoying music as much as I used to, and I have a passion for music. I have tried several alternative streaming service options but none of them are really for me. Can Anna’s Archive be used as a music streaming service remedy? (I only recently found out about it and don’t know how it works)
