What is the best action when we find a book share with a broken link?

Comment (like I've been doing)?, repeat the title in a new Book Request? Use the 'Report' button?

Is there a thread for reports that I'm missing?

My links are broken because mega.io deleted my accounts for copyright violations twice and reuploading hundreds of books yet again is not my idea of spending time meaningfully. The biggest challenge in posting books here was identifying the ones which are worth posting, not finding them, what with all the free library sites like welib.org or annas-archive.li stocking them anyway. Only today somebody asked in a post about a series of books "Is No. 1 available?" (it is) without bothering to search the forum library first. Makes me wonder how serious some people are in their quest for knowledge... Besides, everybody should read this thread:


I've never ever uploaded a book I bought myself, only books I found on the internet. If I can find them, so can you. Reuploading my own shared books is thus redundant and much too time-consuming. Those two mega cancellations involved +31 GB of books, I won't spend weeks and months reuploading them for the second time only to have my account terminated yet again. My whole collection can be downloaded from a third-person mega account anyway (see my signature).

Moreover, the forum library is a collection of books posted by volunteers, not an official educational institution. No poster is under any obligation whatsoever to reupload his or her books or update threads.

To answer your question directly: yes, you're free post a reupload request but please don't use the Report button, it's for reporting rule violations to the forum staff only. Of course you're also free to get a mega.io account, find the book concerned and reupload it yourself as other public-minded members are already doing.

Keep in mind that it is, like the rest of the forum, community driven... So, if we ALL post 1 or 2 re-ups every week, we can keep everything up to date and more. About 95% of the books in the library are on welib.org so anyone can find them, download them, and upload them to their personal MEGA account and post a link to re-up.

A big plus is that you often discover books by doing this, that are interesting enough to share for other occultists as well. That is just by knowing which topics are discussed here on WF . So eventually the Library will grow bigger by just making a some effort.

I do have a substantial PDF library, and physical too, plus the physical library at the coven. But here's the problem.

I don't know what's in the library here, except to go with the search function here if I know the name or author.

Yes, I know you have a large 30+ GB library. I also know that the Grand Library here has many many ISO files.

All impossible for me to get, or even look at. "Unfortunately, Firefox has an insufficient buffer to decrypt data in the browser, ..."

I think I'm limited to 8 GB or so? So, I can get the Chaos Magic.iso but not the shamanism.iso that I actually need.

Plus, even if I do get chrome, and figure that out, I live in rural farmland. No high-speed internet here, wireless. About the speed of dialup.

I know from past experience just trying to get a new linux iso, which is what, 8 GB or so? that it fails DL over and over again.

I have to babysit the DL, click re-try again and again, hope it don't get corrupt. It's a long process. Gotta check the hash.

So, for 32 GB? I can't do that, too long. I'd love to contribute what's missing, if I do have anything to add. But IDK what's here even.

Add to this I don't have a printer or scanner, of course. Sorry for my rambling, wall o text.
