Ok it seems it is not always that easy to get an individual file from a torrent. Some of the archives are a huge .tar.

Testing with a random file:

https://annas-archive.org/md5/d3d7b17e409175a6d94a2d8c9aeb7880

The torrent link is on the page:

https://annas-archive.org/dyn/small_file/torrents/managed_by_aa/zlib/pilimi-zlib2-19330000-21079999.torrent

That is unfortunately a 527.8GB .tar archive. The entire file would need to be downloaded before being able to extract anything...

The good is since, searching the same hash over at z-lib works. Hopefully that is the case for anything that is in Anna's z-lib archives.

As far as the epubs... It turns out they are doing a special for Black Friday donations.

https://z-library.ec/how-to-donate

During Black Friday users who make ANY donation from November 14, 2025 to December 1, 2025 will get one-month unlimited (up to 999 daily) downloads.

That means a donation for as little as $1 will allow for premium access to convert files over 3 MB to ebup. Sounds like a good deal.

I personally would download a book as a PDF or TXT files from z-lib.

I would personally recommend z-lib.gd, it's basically like an infinite online library, but you can get books for free in any format, I personally would pick PDF file format.
