DeGruyter Collection

tldr: a huge torrent of books straight from the academic publisher De Gruyter

Trying again because reddit filters, let's see if I get it right this time.

After months of scraping I finally finished downloading almost every single degruyter book to which I have access, which are many. And so I created a torrent.

The content of the torrent is pretty much these https://www.degruyter.com/search?query=*&startItem=0&pageSize=10&sortBy=mostrecent&documentVisibility=all&documentTypeFacet=book&publisherFacet=De+Gruyter%7EDe+Gruyter+Oldenbourg%7EDe+Gruyter+Saur%7EDe+Gruyter+Mouton

Neither the files nor the series are renamed. They all bear the original filenaming which is much better since it can easily be keyed to the book's unique page.

Note: this torrent includes only the abovementioned degruyter imprints. In the upcoming weeks I will create a second torrent, with the degruyter partner publishers: about 100k books from these publishers

This endeavour would have not been possible were not for all the people that granted me academic access, wrote scripts for me, helped me ensure the integrity of the files, and so on. Sadly many files, especially epubs, are corrupted or downright missing at the source. There are also some dupes that, being part of multiple series and subseries, were downloaded twice. Total torrent size is about 2tb.

https://i.imgur.com/BjqsUqJ.png of course everything is actively being shared with nexus/annas/libgen as well as private groups and friends and the classicist discord channel. I did not waste months so I could jerkoff on the big numbah, therefore I want the files to be shared and reshared as much as possible in order to grant indirect academic access to all those students (me being one) whose universities cannot afford degruyter subscriptions.

Last note: all the files are retail untouched (according to BIB standards, if anyone here is a member). So if some epub has shitty formatting blame the publisher.
