My understanding of Anna's Archive is that one has to download large zip files (>10 Gb) containing thousands of books even if one wants only a single book.
Am I correct here?
Does this MCP server allow one to download just a single book?
I remember once using an IPFS based tool to download a single 200-year-old, out-of-copyright copy of "Last of the Mohicans" from Anna's Archive. It worked, but was very very complicated to figure out how to make it work.

- LeratoAustini 1y agoI've downloaded single books several times recently (annas-archive.org in the browser): - search for book - tap a result - see a list of links to download mirrors (under 'slow downloads'), tap a link - get a countdown timer - timer expires, download links appear - click a link, book downloads just like any other download
- iosifache 1y agoThe waiting part is nonexistent if you have an active donation (which is also required by this MCP server for API access). The fast downloads mean you request a book and start downloading it immediately.

- stavros 1y agoYou can just go on the website, search for the book you want, and download it. I'd think this is pretty obvious, as if you visit https://annas-archive.org https://annas-archive.org, there are multiple search boxes there that lead directly to downloads.
