[EBOOKS] Backup of my fiction server [49GB]

[-] Lego349 | 140 points | Mar 08 2018 04:01:44

When Alexandria burned, 40 thousand copies of books were reportedly lost in the fire. That fire, that loss, is considered one of the greatest intellectual and cultural tragedies in history, doing irreparable damage to our collective human existence.

Then, 2066 years later, some dude puts almost that same amount of books in a thing you can click on and have on something no larger than a book forever.

I fucking love the future.

[-] trasheusclay | 12 points | Mar 08 2018 07:06:05

Trippy! You can store all this on a USB thumbdrive that you carry in your pocket. 😵

[-] Samug | 6 points | Mar 09 2018 09:45:40

You can store it and access with your god damn wrist watch, how crazy is that?

Jesus Christ...

[-] anddingowashisnameoh | 23 points | Mar 07 2018 19:58:55

Right?! Between this post and the other huge library I'm in epub heaven.

Thanks OP!

[-] cayal3 | 12 points | Mar 08 2018 00:26:31

Unfortunately we will only ever get through like 1% of those books.

[-] Agret | 8 points | Mar 08 2018 01:13:22

Doubtful that we could get through that many

[-] dotmeat | 1 points | Mar 08 2018 11:56:15

WHICH OTHER HUGE LIBRARY? Link!

[-] anddingowashisnameoh | 11 points | Mar 08 2018 12:50:26

Hey friendo. Here is one with 15,000 books

By the same OP, this is her 8,000 book collection.

If you're into audiobooks here are some good ones.

Enjoy. These are incredible shares by these posters.

Ever have any plans to share that audiobook library? :)

[-] dotmeat | 3 points | Mar 10 2018 11:38:44

Will take some time. I'm currently on limited bandwidth! Data.

[-] ArcticBeat | 1 points | Mar 10 2018 12:07:03

Ill be waiting! What sort of books have you collected?

[-] dotmeat | 2 points | Mar 20 2018 18:54:36

Fiction! Majority are horror/Dystopian Thriller/Post Apocalyptic. The good thing is though it's small it's complete with every series up-to date. I've added custom labels for everything to open in ascending order. Now I'm trying to merge all these in my own library. Filtering for a week removed almost 1500 books added another 2K. Gonna spend a lot of time sorting everything.

[-] anddingowashisnameoh | 1 points | Mar 08 2018 13:09:06

Haha well sounds like you've got the audiobooks covered!

Cheers!

Not all heroes wear capes, I love these bulk dumps thanks again

[-] BrandSluts | 9 points | Mar 08 2018 05:58:10

thank you very much! would you happen to also have a non-fiction server? :)

[-] DV865 | 10 points | Mar 08 2018 11:02:44

Oddly I do (surprise!) lol

That's also a work in progress.

[-] acertenay | 2 points | Mar 08 2018 16:53:27

Looks like a great collection. I am more of a non-fiction guy. Looking forward to your non-fiction server ;)

[-] Rini94 | 7 points | Mar 08 2018 05:35:57

I have no words... I'm probably going to download all these and never read a single one of them.

Thank you OP!

[-] MReprogle | 6 points | Mar 07 2018 20:34:57

haha, How does Calibre handle a library of 37,000??

[-] DV865 | 8 points | Mar 07 2018 21:23:42

It doesn't, I only keep the ones I like in my library.

[-] ThatOneDudeHere | 1 points | Mar 07 2018 23:00:32

What do you use instead?

[-] DV865 | 3 points | Mar 07 2018 23:25:37

This is a backup of my ebook server not my own reading library.

[-] ThatOneDudeHere | 3 points | Mar 07 2018 23:31:20

I'm a weirdo. I'd still want all the meta-data and stuff in calibre or something similar.

[-] DV865 | 3 points | Mar 08 2018 00:29:15

I do also for my own library, this is just for my irc server, when I get time I'll work through them and tidy it up. I haven't got around to working through other folders of books that have the metadata but they are next to back up so I'll copy them to another Mega account and post that soon.

[-] Le_Vagabond | 1 points | Mar 08 2018 07:17:29

what do you use as ebook server ? and what does it actually do ?

[-] DV865 | 2 points | Mar 08 2018 10:46:49

mirc and omenserve, it serves ebooks to people :P

[-] furless | 3 points | Mar 08 2018 00:33:20

Quite well, actually. Packrat me has more than double this number of books.

[-] I-am-what-I-am-a-god | 6 points | Mar 07 2018 21:20:33

Another massive book dump what a time to be alive.

[-] King--Noctis | 4 points | Mar 07 2018 23:43:32

Ahh, a fellow data hoarder.

[-] Zedwardson | 3 points | Mar 08 2018 05:08:01

Wow.

Now I just have to get 7 more books to complete my list of books I want to have on ebooks.

[-] DV865 | 3 points | Mar 08 2018 15:05:18

Out of curiosity what are they?

[-] Zedwardson | 2 points | Mar 08 2018 17:20:21

CJ Cherryh - Regenesis

The Gap Cycle - Stephen R. Donaldson (5 books)

Headhunters - Jo Nesbo

[-] DV865 | 3 points | Mar 08 2018 18:31:02

PM'd you a link for those, they weren't hard to find.

[-] tlallcuani | 2 points | Mar 09 2018 02:56:07

curious what your searching methods are.... perhaps in a PM?

[-] DV865 | 2 points | Mar 09 2018 13:01:42

No need to make it a mystery, The Gap Cycle by Stephen R. Donaldson was on TPB and the others were on IRC.

[-] tlallcuani | 1 points | Mar 09 2018 17:19:55

Gotcha. Usually I’ve had luck with libgen but was wondering if there were other options I wasn’t aware of

[-] jodorowsthesky | 3 points | Mar 08 2018 06:41:35

I wish the whole thing was archived.super awkward to download with jd

[-] Andre_Gigante | 3 points | Mar 08 2018 16:33:53

Can anyone ELI5, step by step, how to access these? Pretty please?

[-] weirdo741 | 2 points | Mar 07 2018 20:01:10

I'm condflicted should I be scared or impresed noneless thankyou :)

[-] Lipsia | 2 points | Mar 07 2018 20:02:28

Do you have books from Blake Nelson? If yes, which ones?

[-] anddingowashisnameoh | 4 points | Mar 07 2018 20:06:13

I looked thru that grouping of authors A-F and didn't see anything for Blake Nelson.

[-] kramdiw | 5 points | Mar 07 2018 20:45:24

That wouldn't be in M-R?

[-] DV865 | 6 points | Mar 07 2018 21:26:46

Well it should be but I prefer to use Forename Surname | Megalinks MegaDB Forename Surname to Surname, Forename | Megalinks MegaDB Surname, Forename

[-] Agret | 3 points | Mar 08 2018 01:14:13

Must be an organisational nightmare

[-] Lipsia | 1 points | Mar 07 2018 20:12:55

Thank you.

[-] DV865 | 1 points | Mar 07 2018 21:25:17

no, not so far.

[-] LordPaul | 2 points | Mar 07 2018 21:44:27

WOW thanks... nice to see Phillip Jose Farmer in someones collection.

Do you have the Dungeon series? he wrote the forward, but the individual books were written by others

[-] DV865 | 3 points | Mar 07 2018 23:26:20

If I did they would be in the backup as that's all my fiction ebooks.

[-] StubbsCastaway | 2 points | Mar 08 2018 00:05:41

Holy guacamole, Batman!

[-] trasheusclay | 2 points | Mar 08 2018 02:11:37

Wow! I'm struggling to comprehend this Raiders of the Lost Ark warehouse of goodies :)

[-] TheRawPotato | 2 points | Mar 08 2018 10:34:12

I take my hat off to whoever can read over 37000 books in their lifetime.

Also you will be a god to me if you happen to have a non-fiction server.

[-] toughlovekb | 2 points | Mar 11 2018 06:34:06

am I doing something wrong? Is top line the code to decrypt and the second row is the key?

Do I put https://mega.nz/ in front of both to work?

Yes Im a newbie to this

[-] DV865 | 2 points | Mar 11 2018 12:27:00

The top line is the 2nd part of the URL after https://mega.nz/ | Megalinks MegaDB https://mega.nz/

The second line is the decryption key to use in Mega.

Both need decrypting.

[-] toughlovekb | 1 points | Mar 11 2018 12:32:24

Thanks heaps for clarifying

[-] itsgreybush | 2 points | Mar 14 2018 03:44:45

/u/DV865 I cant thank you enough for this, I am a cancer survivor who is currently home bound and this is just what I was looking for /needed.

Thank you and people like you that post this stuff for people like me! Much gratitude

[-] TreyWait | 1 points | Mar 08 2018 01:25:46

There's some stray books mixed in the Larry Niven folder.

[-] DV865 | 1 points | Mar 08 2018 10:49:51

Thanks, I'll go through them.

Checked and they are collaborations between Larry Niven and other authors, someone complained about path lengths so I left one copy by Larry Niven and one by the other author.

Sadly its for use on a windows server over irc and many people don't allow specific file types via DCC, plus having the recovery record is useful for serving.

[-] DV865 | 1 points | Mar 08 2018 11:07:26

RIP jdownloader when trying to add these

[-] 2nd2no1 | 1 points | Mar 08 2018 18:26:45

What’s the best way to download all of these? It keeps crashing my mega sync because it’s trying to download them individually. How can I zip the entire folder and download it as a single file?

[-] Galaar | 1 points | Mar 09 2018 04:14:52

Damn dude, thank you so much. I think I'll be spending days getting all this.

[-] RaNDoMMAI | 1 points | Mar 09 2018 19:36:04

i've had terrible luck trying to download this collection. tried both Megadownloader and JDownloader2 and both get stuck and never finish.

Anyone have a torrent link or another method to download all these books?

[-] DV865 | 1 points | Mar 09 2018 20:10:31

Have you tried megasync?

[-] RaNDoMMAI | 1 points | Mar 09 2018 20:32:26

no i have never tried it. Is it the best? I was trying to avoid making a mega account

[-] DV865 | 1 points | Mar 09 2018 21:26:00

Why? Mega accounts are free and its not like they ask for any id or anything like that.

[-] doctorwho6904 | 1 points | Mar 11 2018 00:51:30

Thank you so much! I've been looking in your collection for 3 day's now and i still on the first part!

[-] RaNDoMMAI | 1 points | Mar 11 2018 01:28:15

I tried doing a search and looking the folders for Ready Player One by Ernest Cline

Is it part of this set and did I miss it?

[-] DV865 | 1 points | Mar 11 2018 12:24:40

You can't find it for the simple reason that it's not there.

[-] RaNDoMMAI | 1 points | Mar 11 2018 15:55:54
