minus-squareFaceDeer@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up42arrow-down1·1 day agoSeems strange. Anna’s Archive makes their collection available for bulk download as torrent files, they shouldn’t need to “cut a deal” for access to that. Just download the torrent and now you’ve got the whole collection available locally.
