How do you download stuff off MEGA? When I click "download as zip" it creates some transfer thing, which seems to finish downloading (on the site) and then I can't do anything with it. There didn't seem to be any way to actually get it on my PC.

Nothing on my desktop, or in my downloads folder, or seemingly anywhere for that matter. Maybe it did download after all and it's in some god forsaken place I'd never look. I'm on linux and firefox so I have no idea if MEGA even supports it.

>>2135015
When the download finished, did it prompt you with a popup to "activate download"? If not, try it again and click on it. Should save to your default download path.

Get my matches. Deus vult.

Anyone has something about geographical or scientific expeditions and general manly things like that? Conventional ebook sites don't have a very large collection of such books.

>>2135019
I think it tried to put it on my desktop - it says it's been downloaded, but when I go to open containing folder (the desktop), it's just not there. Probably means my linux can't handle some aspect of MEGA's download process, so I'll just switch to Windows. Thanks anyway

>>2135143
I'm using Linux too and it worked just fine for me. Try checking your desktop through your file manager, not the actual desktop itself.

>Library of Alexandria

Can I pass a motion to have the threads from here on called 'House of Wisdom'?

I only feel it more appropriate to the content when we know that the Library of Alexandria's content was more trivial and banal with records on farmers crop growth or trade records whereas the House of Wisdom's was more focused on the scientific, philosophical, and technological interests and knowledge of the day.

>>2135225
>House of Wisdom
Cringy as fuck.

"Library of Alexandria" is cool and /his/ related.

>>2135251
Well, they're both /his/ related. The House of Wisdom was the name of Baghdad's great library. Alexandria is still more Western-related, though.

>>2135225
Do as you like, I only called it that when I made this thread cause that's what other people were calling it. As long as people share stuff is all that matters to me.

Longshot, but does anyone have any maritime history? Preferably from the age of steam?

Politically Incorrect, for those more inclined. Big collection picked up off of 8/pol/ some time ago.

I like that the threads are called Library of Alexandria

>>2135536
The Real Roosevelts is very promising. Especially since it's recent so it got to review that awful Ken Burns documentary.


The rest is a mixed bag. There's a lot of material to get through so it's hard to say which books are stormfront-originated political treaties and theories and which are simply valid academic works on white or European identity or occidentalism. Not Ouf of Africa for example seems like the former but it's actually the latter. There are also some realisitic books about communism and other leftist ideas.

>>2135664
I haven't even been through them yet, desu. All I know is that it's a big ass assortment of political and historical works.

>>2135673
I gave Real Roosevelts a read and it's written like a youtube post from a /pol/ster. The content may be right for the most part but I'd rather die than be caught citing it as a source.

This is all wonderful but I'm worried about the inevitable lostboy.pdf

Do we have to rely on ebook sites for digital copies or are there ways to get the access to more books? I heard that all books written after 1999 (or so) need to exist in digital version. For anti-plagarist reasons perhaps? If someone here gained the access to more books that can't be found on standard ebook websites we could make requests and such. Bottomless pitt of literature. Or something like that. I don't necessarily mean that it has to be every book. But some people have premium accounts or have the VPN connection to university libraries (I had it once too). Perhaps this could help.

>>2134801
The occult library is in twice.

>>2135795
The Mega could definitely use some curating and reorganization, separating primary sources from secondary, separating those between research publications and pop-history books, formatting titles, and maybe a pastebin to give a general overview for newbies so they don't get overwhelmed trying to download everything and reading a few pages to decide if they're into the subject.

>>2134801
I've got about 300+ pdfs of history books and academic journal articles that I'm about half way through organizing. Maybe I should put them up in a mega and free up some space.

After surveying the process of the collapse and the many different explanations given for it, Drews concludes that it was changes in the technology of warfare that allowed the “barbarians” to overcome their traditional masters.

Thanks again, OP.

I was counting on something that would allow us to simply request books. Maybe I'm too optimistic but anyone can go look on libgen and such sites. But perhaps some of us have the access to books that are unaviable with such conventional measures.

I got another library update on deck, mostly Tibetan and Vajrayana materials.

Should I make a new thread over here or link it here from an OP in /x/?

>>2141901
why not both?

>>2141913
I don't want to be accused of spamming but I can certainly run two threads.

>>2138960
Great, I'd been looking for this.

Is occultism worth reading or is it just a waste of time?

>>2142360
Define your terms:
"Occult", "worth", and "waste of time".

There's plenty of history and anthropology of religion as opposed to source texts. If this is valuable to you, then you want to read it. If not, pass.

>>2142393
Yes, after some thinking and reading your post, I now want to learn about it. Which books do I start with? I've read about the Golden Dawn, Ordo templis orientis, Israel regardie, Aleister Crowley and many other Occultists on wikipedia.

>>2142360

Depends, do you want to bend reality to suit your needs or do you wanna keep being a fuckin pleb? You decide.

>>2142684
What are you interested in of those?
Israel Regardie's "Complete Golden Dawn" is the standard, if deviant from the core rites by way of Stella Matutina.

I've got Francis King's "Secret Rituals" and Koenig's "OTO Rituals and Sex Magick".

If you're into Crowley I present the vast majority of the Yorke Microfilms of the Warburg Collection (unpublished notes, diaries, commentaries, manuscripts, typescripts, etc.).

If you want the basics of philosophy and mechanics, Crowley's Magick in Theory and Practice is great. If you want something less practical and more poetic, The Book of Lies. If you want 'babby's first Neoplatonic Hermetica', The Chaldean Oracles of Zoroaster lay the foundations of much of the GD/Thelemic approach to both systems (Chaldean Oracles is neither Chaldean nor Zoroastrian, but is a nice recompilation of the old Hermetic and Neoplatonic materials, stripped down and re-packaged as coherent doctrines out of meandering texts).

>>2142737
I will start with Complete Golden Dawn. Just downloaded the pdfs from Ape of Thoths Library. I want to learn about mysticism and kabbalah

>>2142813
If you want to learn about KABBALAH as in the Jewish mysticism, the GD isn't the best place. Too synchretized with Hermetics.

David Chaim Smith does great work on Kabbalah; Kabbalistic Mirror of Genesis. Awakening Ground. The Blazing Dew of Stars (advanced af tho). Kaplan's also nice, particularly "Inner Space", "Jewish Meditation", and his translation of Sefer Yetizrah.

>>2142822
Thanks for the help. Considering jewish mysticism is connected to judaism, is learning hebrew neccesary?

>>2142916
Um, depends.

For entry level stuff you're not going to need to recite the Tanakh by heart or some shit like that. You don't need total fluency.

Get a good concordance (Strong's) and then use the gematria calculators at numberman.net and http://www.billheidrick.com/works/hgemat.htm and you should pick up enough words to sorta be able to navigate around.

You don't need to be fluent but you WILL need to apply yourself towards linguistic study.

>>2142937
This will take a long time to learn. It's late for me now, so I will start tommorow. Thanks for all the help.

>>2142977
Any serious study of a subject will take a long time to learn.

I've been at this for like 16ish years or more. I'm only now scratching below the surface of certain mysteries.

I suppose this is the best place to ask. Does anybody know any good titles and/or authors on the subject of ancient Egyptian society? I want trustworthy authors and no meme history pls (no WE WUZ type of stuff, just as objective as possible). Thank

You'd need more than knowing the concept of steam though. You'd need improved metallurgy and economical reasons to actually build trains and stuff.
Romans had slaves, and most of their trade was done by see, on ships manned by slave rowers (I think. I'm just assuming this. Correct me if I'm wrong.)
This was probably cheaper than laying down the tracks and making metal behemoths, if they could have been made at all.

the last three things i recommend are kinda useless, so sorry for that. but if you look in the first link it's not a scholarly journal but a list of books with descriptions of their contents (i.e. an annotated bibliography). Also, why would I recommend meme history?

It is organized effectively into three sections: ancient Celtic civilization on the European continent (Germany, Iberia, Italy, Asia Minor); the period from the end of the Roman Empire to the late Middle Ages; the gradual assimilation of Celtic into the national cultures of Britain, France, and Ireland.

O’Hógáin, Dáithí. The Celts: A History. Cork, Ireland: Collins, 2002.
>A work of impressive breadth and scholarship concerning the history of Celtic civilization in Europe from 2,500 BCE to the Middle Ages that is particularly useful for its engagement and appraisal of classical Roman sources concerning Celtic civilization, along with comparative linguistic and archaeological studies of modern times

theres also a celtic dictionary and encyclopedia listed

I think you'll find the second volume of the Cambridge History of Russia useful. It's can be read cover to cover but they're intended as reference work whose parts that can be consulted discretely. Each chapter is like a very good introductory essay on any topic you wish. I recommend you read the fantastic introduction, though, to help yourself centered in the period.

>prenapoleonic habsburg domains that will become austrian empire, preferably after hungarian union.
>preferably after the hungarian union.
what? hungarian union with austria came after the napoleonic war in the 1860s. unless you mean union of hungary and croatia or the liberation of hungary from the ottomans?

I prefer to buy books, hardcovers especially. Obviously I don't have enough money to buy every book I come into contact with, electronic or otherwise, but I usually reserve my money for books which I deem to be great in knowledge value, quantity, quality and compilation. I just have to have that physical copy in my hand, you know? It's a weird feeling that I can't quite explain, though others seem to share.

In any case, thanks again.

Yeah, iktf. I mix it up between hardcover and ebook, but I love the physicality of the former. you make physical progress every time you turn the page. and it feels like a bigger accomplishment when you finish some large book.

Apologies, but are there any good resources on economics here? I'm a well-read /biz/nessman, but I'm always looking to gain more knowledge. The only useful thing I see here on economics is the collection of Marxist literature.

Also, I have a collection of videos from the Great Courses'™ course "Latin 101: Learning a Classical Language". I'll make a torrent and share it with /his/ if someone will download and seed it. I unfortunately cannot seed it for very long, so I'd like someone to torrent it as soon as possible.

It's a collection of 36 half-hour long videos teaching the Latin language with an accompanying PDF file. The course is taught by Professor Hans-Friedrich Mueller, who seems very pretentious, but he still knows fluent Latin.

Interested? I'll post a magnet link if so

There is a chance it can be removed. DMCA. User takes down or changes the link, etc.

>>2152172
Where do you get these from? Are there more?

DEAR EVERYONE,

I will soon have completed my organisation of all of these files and will soon upload them into one folder.

I have arranged them all under Calibre (the e-book reader program) and they will all be under one Calibre folder, arranged by each author and then arranged by each book within each author.

This means that all you will need to do is download Calibre and then select my downloaded folder when setting up Calibre and it will automatically arrange everything with Calibre's metadata in each folder, all by author, title, publication date and publisher.

I hope to complete this soon.

>>2154917
you are a god

>>2154927
>>2154917
>I will soon have completed my organisation of all of these files and will soon upload them into one folder.
I make regular updates. Your repository of my files will be outdated within a month.

>>2154917
is there any way at all to access this on mobile devices?

>>2154943
Calibre Companion app can access the libraries but you will need a separate reader

>>2154943
If you have an Android phone then just drag and drop the Calibre folder (when i upload it) to your phones file explorer and just open the files in there from one of your file reader apps

>>2154940
Ok, I will not include your Mega in the Calibre file. I will instead offer a README.txt linking your Mega and explaining why it was excluded.

>>2155052
I mean, post it if you want; Crowley's Yorke Microfilms are enough to warrant preservation, I'm just giving fair warning that the library's always expanding and being curated as I hone folders and present different materials.

I have a handful of early Babylonian witchcraft documents.

The two modern persian books in the foreign languages - that's spoken farsi today, right?

More formal and such I am sure but I want to make sure I'm not learning dead persian as opposed to living persian.

For the pirates out there, TPB has a ton of stuff from Thegreatcourses.com. Website basically sells audio/video of professor lectures, for example they have a 12 hour series from A Classical/Byzantine Ph.D. on ERE. Stuff is expensive too, the lecture I mentioned goes for $130+.

>>2168113
Kinda related, there's a torrent for Latin 101 from the Great Courses here >>2152932

As the creator of that torrent and a user of Great Courses, I can confirm they have great stuff, very informative. I don't plan on making more torrents of their stuff for awhile, so please don't ask.

Can somebody do me a favor and download the whole of the following in the Language link and reup to a MEGA drive for me?

WHY THE FUCK ISNT THIS STICKIED YET

>>2134878

If you want a very easy book to read and it might direct you to something you're really interested in Sophie's World is a good start.

Aside from that OUP do short introductions, so the Stoics, Plato, and Aristotle are a good start.

Sometimes its easier to start with an area, ie, ethics, metaphysics, epistemology or political philosophy etc.

I'm studying for my masters in philosophy currently I would advise you avoid Kant for a while and epistemology (just my personal dislikes haha).

I read your thread there, also I seldom browse this board being a /his/torian too.
My answer would be, it really doesn't make sense to just sticky the whole thread like this, with all the recs and empty bumps and unrelated replies. The only sticky in the last years that resembled this was the /t/ one from 2012, which was explicitly a thread for general cleanup of the questions about technical issues about torrents and magnets.

Look at every other board, recent stickies are usually 3-4 posts at most that contain everything you need in its most compact form.
If you stickied this thread as is, it'd be be hard to have a clear idea of which recs belong with which, as the recommendation pictures and lists are posted with no order over the weeks.

My advice is:
>either make a single external page that covers the whole thing and have the sticky link that, similar to the /lit/, /k/ or /mu/ wikis or the site in /fit/'s sticky, or
>what you should aim for is something that looks like >>>/3/248019 (even if that is quite long because of all the graphics lists) or >>>/trv/609350

tl;dr This thread as is is definitely not sticky material, make a new meta one to decide what belongs, under what order and groupings and then ask mods to sticky a much shorter, organized post.

though its known to be criticized, bertrand russells history of western philosophy is a great read. very accessible and simple enough, which is where it usually gets criticized. enjoy it for what it is but dont take it as gospel and don't think its totally comprehensive. take all the ideas as jumping off points which further reading can refine. its a pretty damn common book too: along with diogenes laertius' lives and opinions of eminent philosophers, russells' history... is the most often cited on philosophers' wiki pages.
