You can help hoard the info so the knowledge is not lost. The torrents are not designed to be browsed (you do that on their website) but instead are designed to be a copy to stop it being lost.
To help, follow the link I gave. In the “Help seed” section say how much space you have. It will allocate you appropriately torrents to download and seed.

So you telling me while using a VPN that there is a site I can download from and seed. Without all that DMCA notices and stuff?

I am not sure what you mean by DMCA notices but there are hundreds of sites that you can torrent from if you use a VPN yes. My assumption was that you’re already familiar with torrenting.
For the record, Anna’s Archive is not distributing books with the copyright owners consent, they are a shadow library.

Yes, once upon a time I got that notice from my ISP. I have a virtual machine running now, which is connected to a VPN and I torrent everything nowadays. TV, Movies, music, software whatever. Haven’t gotten any conflict from my ISP in well over a decade. For info, I use Mullvad. Economical and reliable. Had the occasional hiccup but their main site shows how to resolve problem immediately.
So, yeah you can torrent to your heart’s content once you’re on a VPN. I recommend Mullvad simply because they are not in the U.S.A. and they don’t keep logs, as per their stated policy. That’s all you can go on. But I have no affiliation with them I’m simply a satisfied customer.
Enjoy.
