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

    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.

        You need a piece of software to do it. I know of one for chrome and for Firefox, so depends on your browser.
