Project cataloging temporarily delayed
Eager listeners may have noticed we haven’t put much new in the catalog recently. Fear not! The mighty armies of LibriVoxateers are still producing hours of audio daily.
However, the Internet Archive (the folks who host LibriVox’s files) are making some changes to the way audio files are derived and presented. Once the dust settles at Archive, we’ll begin cataloging the backlog, and the regular audio wonderfulness we’ve all come to expect and love will resume.
Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available.

Its not that I don’t have anything to listen to, I do. I have downloaded so much stuff that I want to listen to that I could survive the site being down for a year. But the disruption comes in my daily routine, which involves OBSESSIVLY checking to see what is out on Librivox today, or realistically, this-two-hour-period since I last checked.

Thanks for letting us know! I’m really enjoying all the stuff I’ve downloaded. Are any of the pending books downloadable from the forum threads where their projects have been sitting? If so would it be easy to provide a list of threads to look in?

The Librivox Upload server is very much a working server for the production of our audio files, and does not have sufficient capacity for listener downloads, I’m afraid.
We hope that you will still be able to find plenty of audiobooks already in the catalogue that you haven’t yet had a chance to enjoy.
We appreciate your patience. :)

I am delighted to announce that the log-jam is now slowly beginning to move. :)
