Could you make a mirror and torrent of the 170 PDFs as well? They go back to April 2005. You can find them at ljarchive.neverlocate.me/LinuxJournal

I am afraid that might be illegal as they did not un-paywall the PDFs yet.

All PDFs on this page: https://secure2.linuxjournal.com/pdf/dljdownload.php appear to be un-paywalled now (they were not yesterday).

Well here you go then! https://linuxjournal.as.boramalper.org/linuxjournal-issues.t...

Transmission seems to be unable to open this for some reason. No errors, but no progress then appears. Also doesn't ask where I want to save locally. Weird.

Yeah, too bad. Worked fine in qBittorrent though.

But I wanted to seed it for a while via Transmission on one of my servers, that is not gonna fly now for me unfortunately.

Thanks for the mirroring effort!

Just installed and used qBitorrent. That did work.
