Could you please resume seeding this library so that I can download it and help? This seems potentially useful.

Please update the magnet URI. Let me know if you are still encountering problems.

There are no seeds during the day (Australian time). And then I leave my computer on overnight and it only downloads an extra couple of percent. downloading at about 4kB/sec. Unlikely to be a problem on my end. Would be keen for increased seeding of this. And then I can split up the file, pick the good parts and then repackage it in a new LW/rationality torrent. :/ Just as soon as it gets seeded better.

I've now created a separate torrent which allows for selective downloading of individual files. See here.

I'd like to echo other folks' requests for seeds from anyone who has the whole thing. I am currently making very slow progress in discrete spurts in downloading this, at 45%.

Once I have the whole thing I am willing to work on doing something like this for the books in the library and/or support theduffman's proposal by seeding.

I'll keep seeding this indefinitely, so you should be able to download the entire library eventually. However, if you'd like to download specific files, there's now a separate torrent which contains all the files in the original, uncompressed format. See here.

Okay. I wrongly guessed that there was no one who had the whole thing and was seeding.
