Scrape of magzdb.org, an ally of Library Genesis (it’s linked on the libgen.is homepage) but who didn’t want to provide their files directly. Seems to be defunct, with the last new files uploaded in July 2023 (at the time of writing in September 2024).
According to this forum post, MagzDB started in 2012 as a fork of the magazines section of Libgen.li (then “http://free-books.dontexist.com”), and then grew its own collection on top of that. In the same forum thread it is mentioned that this is the original forum for MagzDB.
The content files were obtained by volunteer “p” in late 2023, and has been released as part of the upload collection (the ones with “magzdb” in the filename). Metadata was scraped by volunteer “ptfall” in July 2024 (for this bounty), and has been released on the magzdb torrents page, in the Anna’s Archive Containers format.
