That’s disgusting. Where would you find such torrents?

    The album art torrent is a goldmine. Such a pain in the ass sometimes to find high quality album covers.

    The fact that annas archive exists despite how fucked up everything is right now gives me hope. Every time I start to feel cynical about the future I remind myself that there's people out there working to preserve the art and culture of our modern era with all the most powerful corporations and governments working against them, and they're succeeding.

    Anyway, thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

    Shit me, 200gb in metadata, 2.2TB in cover art before we even touch a piece of music! Wild

    People are saying it's 300TB but this link is only 200GB why?

    The 200GB is the metadata sqlite database only

    God damn! That's essentially just text, right? Or would it also include album cover art?

    Nah, checked Wikipedia. Germany is one of the countries that entirely blocks the site.

    Luckily I live in Denmark, and Denmark doesn't block the archive. So when I'm back home I'll certainly be checking it out.
