In archive org, some books can only be borrowed for 1 hour, these types of books do not have a download button as usual, does anyone know how to download these kind of books?
Guys i have found the solution, in a post i have already posted earlier, someone gave the answer, but i dont know how to link the answer, so i just copied the text, i already tried the first link the person gave and it worked like a charm, i was able to download the book using digital edition, here is the solution: "There's two ways: Create a Direct Link . There's a link on that spreadsheet. Follow the directions and download the .acsm you normally would. Hopefully, this is still working. It was a few days ago, last time I tried it. I'm sure IA will eventually disable it, though. Also, you can just put the link in a text file and save it, replacing the identifier as necessary on the fly. Much easier. Rip the Images from Your Cache . This method actually results in higher quality results, so I prefer it for image-heavy books. Text-based ones I use method 1 on."

January 13, 2024 -

Theres a textbook thats available for "borrowing", but I kinda need it indefinitely so that I can use it in my day-to-day.

Is there any way I can download it (preferably as an unencrypted PDF) so that I'll be able to access it on my offline?

r/libgen on Reddit: In archive org, some books can only be borrowed for 1 hour, these types of books do not have a download button as usual, does anyone know how to download these kind of books?
October 8, 2020 -

So usually at archive org i used to borrow a book for 14 days, there for a download link is availble to download the book in pdf or epub using adobe digital edition...

But i recently came up with a second type of books that only can be borrowed for 1 hour... these types dont have a download link... there for the only way to download these books isa by downloading each page as an image when previewing the book each page as image... so i tried bulk media downloader extension, which catch the images or pages and download them, unfortunetly there is a kind of lock on the download, so the download is failing...

The only way to download them is by loading each 10 pages and typing Ctrl+S which saves the entire page on desktop and therefore get the images i need, or pages i need... it is veeeeery time consuming, cz i cannot load more then 10 pages... and i have to download the whole page for each 2 pages.... so you get my point

Is there any other way i can easily download the book or pages without going through the whole prosess

Thx in advanced

Update: Hello guys, you can check on this guide i made on how to download books from archive, it is a complete guide

I tried different ways to download a site and finally I found the wayback machine downloader - which was built by Hartator (so all credits go to him, please), but I simply did not notice his comment to the question. To save you time, I decided to add the wayback_machine_downloader gem as a separate answer here.

The site at http://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Restoring lists these ways to download from archive.org:

  • Wayback Machine Downloader, small tool in Ruby to download any website from the Wayback Machine. Free and open-source. My choice! As of 2025, the original project hadn't received updates for 3 years and stopped working at least for some sites, StrawberryMaster/wayback-machine-downloader is a fork that worked better.
  • Warrick - Main site seems down.
  • Wayback downloaders - a service that will download your site from the Wayback Machine and even add a plugin for WordPress. Not free.

This can be done using a bash shell script combined with wget.

The idea is to use some of the URL features of the wayback machine:

  • http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://domain/* will list all saved pages from http://domain/ recursively. It can be used to construct an index of pages to download and avoid heuristics to detect links in webpages. For each link, there is also the date of the first version and the last version.
  • http://web.archive.org/web/YYYYMMDDhhmmss*/http://domain/page will list all version of http://domain/page for year YYYY. Within that page, specific links to versions can be found (with exact timestamp)
  • http://web.archive.org/web/YYYYMMDDhhmmssid_/http://domain/page will return the unmodified page http://domain/page at the given timestamp. Notice the id_ token.

These are the basics to build a script to download everything from a given domain.
