St. Isidore forum

Can I post links to some of the Catholic eBook libraries that I've collected over the years? I'm unsure what the policy is.

Example Library: The Catholic Archive

There are several books from The Catholic Archive (https://isidore.co/calibre/#panel=book_list&search=identifier:thecatholicarchive) already in the St. Isidore e-book library.

Thanks for this. I'll sort through it and integrate some or all of it into the St. Isidore e-book library.

Here's the 🧲 link for the 4GB torrent of the OCRed PDFs from The Catholic Archive (https://thecatholicarchive.com/):

Is there a way to mirror the contents of https://isidore.co/misc/ (where both these archives are housed) in a way similar to CalibreLibrary and Zotero? My programming knowledge is limited, but I'm able to get rsync to work.

I made some more rsync URLs:

• rsync://isidore.co/Physics
• rsync://isidore.co/Audiobooks
• rsync://isidore.co/ResProDeo

• rsync://isidore.co/Physics
• rsync://isidore.co/Audiobooks
• rsync://isidore.co/ResProDeo

Thanks! For those needing a refresher, the other two rsync links are here (https://isidore.co/forum/index.php/topic,232.msg628.html#msg628), and the rough storage needed to mirror the libraries are:

• CalibreLibrary: 197 GB
• Zotero: 3 GB
• Physics: 1 GB
• Audiobooks: 3 GB
• ResProDeo: 36 GB

I highly recommend the Ecce Verbum Telegram channel. 500+ PDFs and epubs mostly on Catholic theology.

Does anyone have a link to the Ite ad Thomam's Out of Print Library (ITOPL) files? The previous link is broken. Thanks!
