#3> For every $2k that we raise, we’ll release another big torrent!
I’m worried that tying monetary benefits to the release of (others’) intellectual property won’t end up well for them.

Yeah, maybe not the best idea. And pointless, because we intend to release all torrents soon anyway (most are still processing)! Removed this part, thanks for the feedback.

#5> That’s better for your hard drive and torrent software than a gazillion smaller files.
Oh, that's for sure. Is there an easy way to mount .tar on Windows?
I have some library data which would benefit from serving as a single/a couple of large files, but most of the folks would be on Windows. VHDX is out of question (would be modified as soon as mounted)... maybe .iso ?

For the use case of "mountable archive on windows" there's .wim files, but that use case is pretty small and there is no reason to pick it over .iso here.

You are doing some solid work regardless of " ethical" considerations that IP laws impose.
Please be safe and don't be greedy. Have seen many icons fall over the years.

So glad to see you here and thanks so much for anna’s archive, it has been super helpful to me personally for access to so many books mostly inaccessible to normal people in my country due to exhorbitant pricing structures.

Not sure about Windows. On Linux we use https://github.com/mxmlnkn/ratarmount

#10Curious why you don't consider refactoring the file layout before making the torrent.
