I was able to download some textbooks a while back but they never stayed permanent and I guess had some sort of DRM that made them expire after 14 days.
anybody have any way to get around that and download books from the Internet archive to keep permanently without issue?
I would just use one of the other download sites listed in the megathread but none of them have the book that I’m looking for. TIA
yeah it’s really sad. Had to just deal with checking out my textbook on an hourly basis last semester, but that wasn’t very reliable
The hourly ones can be scraped from IA if you flip through all the pages in the online interface and use a cache viewer for your web browser. Then you have to stitch all the images together into a pdf.
I may have to look into this. What do I have to do specifically to bring up the cache viewer for the browser?
I did something similar it sounds like to rip movies off of soap2day.to
You need a piece of software to do it. I know of one for chrome and for Firefox, so depends on your browser.
