book sources

in case you dont find the book you were looking for here, I will start a list of sites where to get ebooks, feel free to add to it.

www.thepiratebay.org //well, duh
www.torrentz.com  // and pretty much any other torrent site, some even have a section for ebooks
www.demonoid.com // Believe it or not, its public.

http://torrent-finder.com // Torrent aggregator, easiest to view with a good adblocker but definitely saves time.

www.google.com // What? It's just as helpful as the above sites.
-You can use "x" OR "y" OR "z" site:.edu filetype:pdf if you want to search through online material that's legitimately free.


***
http://gigapedia.com/ // textbooks, textbooks and more textbooks. math, biology, chemistry, physics... it goes on.
needs login, but honestly, its one of the best sources for textbooks. dont use the google search (it doesn't give results), select the gigapedia engine from the drop down list after you login.

http://avaxhome.ws /ebooks // awesome site, books are categorized by subject and language, they are usually well described. Also has softwaredownloads.
http://www.ebookee.com // similar to avaxhome, although not quite as good imho.
http://www.3ebook s.com // looks like a siterip of ebokee, quite useful sometimes.
http://www.51cnnet.com/directory // massive programming book stash

http://ebooklink.net/g/home/ // offers DDLs for an enormous variety of books


http://www.warez-bb.org// has a great selection of just about everything if you have a RS/MU account.. I found a great collection of Feynman papers there im going to upload here later today -- snarik
    Yeah warez-bb is great. Make sure to get jDownloader and you will love that place.--» jdownloader is pro.-- snarik

        Another downloader I've found to work is CryptLoad
http://www.flazx.com // Computer Science and Electronics ebooks

http://www.bioxplorer.com // Free biology and medical books, journals and public databases.  Requires registration for most downloads though.

http://jdownloader.org // A powerful downloadmanager for RS/MU and many similar sites.

http://textbookrevolution.org/index.php/Main_Page // It's free, legal, and awesome quality.
