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."

June 22, 2024 - Wow, I love it when greedy companies stomp all over a nonprofit group which is just trying to preserve books that are out of print so people can actually read them.

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

r/internetarchive on Reddit: How to search exclusively for free books on Internet Archive

August 27, 2024 -

Hi

When I search for books on Internet Archive, lot of results are books that are acess-restricted, I keep opening search results one by one hoping to find free books but most of the results are restricted.

this is so frustrating to be obliged to check every result and only find a very few that are free, I tried to use filters and advanced search but I couldn't limit the search on free available books. There was a filter named Availability that I think was capable of filtering free books from others but now they removed that.

Is there another way to limit the search results only to free downloadable books ?

Thank you
