.:: HOW TO GET EBOOKS FROM PROJECT GUTENBERG ::.
The easiest way to obtain our eBooks is at our search page at
http://gutenberg.net/find.shtml
which allows searching by title and author; there is also an Advanced
Search page which allows for additional search criteria (note that our
newer postings may not yet be indexed for all additional criteria).
And please note: you can now obtain a listing by language at the above
link.
Mirrors (copies) of the complete collection are available around the
world, and you can select one nearer to your location from the link on
the search results page.
To see a listing of mirror sites, and locate the one nearest to you,
visit:
http://gutenberg.net/list.shtml
EBooks numbered 1 to 10000 are located in "release year" directories. Over
time, the "release year" advanced, so that by November 2003 the release year
was 2006. Starting with eBook #10001, they are filed by their official eBook
number, with a unique subdirectory based on that eBook number.
FOR EBOOKS NUMBERED GREATER THAN 10000
To get to a directory listing you can use either:
http://gutenberg.net/1/
- or -
ftp://gutenberg.net/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/1/
. . .navigate down through the subdirectories until you get to the
appropriate level, and then select the file you wish to download,
using your usual download procedures. This system works on mirrors,
too, and will hold all eBooks starting with the number "1" for
10,000 and beyond.
FOR EBOOKS NUMBERED 1 THROUGH 10000:
Use your Web browser or FTP program to visit our master download site (or
a mirror) if you know the filename and year you want. For example:
http://gutenberg.net/etext06/
- or -
ftp://gutenberg.net/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext06/
and look for the first five letters of the filesname. Note that updated
eBooks usually go in their original directory (e.g., etext99, etext00, etc.)
