like libgen?

Something like libgen is good enough for most people, but that only seems to have fiction books (e.g. no results at all for "Quantum") - no academic books. Also, seems to be for downloading one book at a time.

Looking for a database of community-uploaded books (as opposed to an individual's) with just about anything imaginable for downloading, and multiple books (or ALL books) downloadable in a few clicks.

I've spent many years sorting files and have a rather impressive collection to pass on to others. But have focused on particular areas. So, was thinking a community of such people could pool resources, both for expedience of sorting/finding and broadening of access.

It's hard enough to find e-libraries that have a huge variety of academic books (physical university libraries being quite the opposite), let alone a community-updated database. (Many underground books, or even just expensive books, can be hard to find in e-book form.*)

So that's the sort of group of people and/or resource I'm looking for.

* For example, looking for "Secure Multi-Party Computation" by  M. M. Prabhakaran, A. Sahai. Can only find to buy (Amazon) for at least 86GBP, when a PDF would cost nothing!

Look around in the catalog of:

Libgen is mostly about different academic books. How did you search? There are 8k results

Do you really need large amount or randomized nonsense that mostly duplicates itself? You also can't read so much anyway, so it is easier to download few recommended books instead of everything.

But if you really want, there are torrents for some collections. Like libgen (text version) on rutracker (500gb).

Main problem is simple - if you want to have multiple collection of books of different type, you need to have community of specialists, and community of specialists wouldn't work on copyrighted books with restricted access because it is tedious task without reward. At least in non-computer spheres of knowledge.

Ty. Will hit them up. Cheers.

Reminds me the imageboard preppers who hoard informationals and survival books to "prepare" for some kind of catastrophe or big collapse. And they don't realize all those stuff would be useless at the moment when the problem arises. They would be better off with one book - what they read and test in practice before the shit hits the fan. Then if they have the time, they could process another one.
I have a large collection of e-books, but I only downloaded once in bulk, which contained liek 2-300 books, and they are all fiction, "best sellers" or some such shit were they are. It's useless if I don't know what I'm getting.

Its endchan. Its a forum where various boards are run by the users and dedicate it to whatever topic they want. You need to picture other boards as a somewhat separate entities. 
On /kc/ we have discussions on a rather broad spectrum of topics. If you look around you'll probably get it how it is here.
