#title The Anarchist Library On Torrent
#lang en
#topics HowTo
** Download
[[https://theanarchistlibrary.org/extra/anarchist-libraries-2016-01-18.torrent][January 18, 2016]]
** Help on ISOs
The .torrent of the library is released as an iso files. It's a convenient way to package the huge amount of files shared without making your client freeze or crash. They are so-called "images" of a file-system.
The ISO contains a **full mirror** of [[http://theanarchistlibrary.org][the library]] site.
If you don't know what to do with the ISO, this is the page for you.
** On Windoze (a.k.a. Microsoft Windows)
With the ISO you can do basically 2 things: burn it on a physical CD or DVD (and then access the files inserting the CD-ROM into the tray), or unpack the iso on your disk storing them normally.
*** Burn it!
On your burning software, you have to use the option <strong>"Burn image"</strong>.
Please note that Windoze <strong>doesn't</strong> come by default with a serious burning tool and burning the ISO without it is impossible. So, if you don't have specific burning software installed see below about extracting the archive.

*** Unpack and browse the files on your disk
Probably the best way to do this is to install 7-zip, a compression utility which is free software:
[[http://www.7-zip.org/][http://www.7-zip.org/]]
Once is installed, right click on the .iso file and "unpack" and wait.
Right click on the file -> 7-zip -> "Extract in ...": (ok, it's italian, but the highlighted menu says "7-zip -> Extract in cd-a4-2010-09-22"

Extracting...

And finally you have it. Open index.html to browse.

** On Linux
You can mount the iso for local browsing or burn it.
*** Burning
With K3B, Brasero, or similar software: find "Burn image" in the menu, select the file, and burn it. Or, at the command line should be enough
<example>
$ growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=file.iso
</example>
Where file.iso is the downloaded file.
*** Unpack on the disk
At the command line, as root, do:
<example>
# mkdir -p /mnt/iso
# mount -o loop path/to/the/file.iso /mnt/iso
</example>
You'll find the files on /mnt/iso.
** Browsing
Opening titles.html in the root directory with a browser should be enough to give you full access to the texts.
