Offline Catalogs and Feeds
==========================
This page tells you how to find and get Project Gutenberg eBooks if:
- you want notifications as new books become available, or
- you don't want to use a browser to download eBooks but prefer other software like an ftp-client or wget, or
- you are on a slow or limited internet connection, or
- you'd rather have a handy book catalog to consult offline, or
- you would like to make your own listings or derivatives from this information.
## Feeds of new books
### RSS
Find our RSS feed in the [cache/feeds](/cache/epub/feeds/today.rss) location. Updated daily after 2am U.S. Eastern time.
### Email
The "[posted](https://lists.pglaf.org/mailman/listinfo/posted)" list is where every new eBook is announced as it is being uploaded to the Project Gutenberg servers. New books are then available for download, typically within 2 hours. The list has a once-daily digest option, and also online public archives.
### Social media
* [Facebook group](https://www.facebook.com/project.gutenberg)

## List of Sites Hosting Project Gutenberg EBooks
The Project Gutenberg collection is available from dozens of sites offering access via http/https, ftp, rsync, and a few other methods. See our listing of [mirror sites](/dirs/MIRRORS.ALL) to choose the location, access method, or speed. Mirrors generally do not have a friendly Web-based front end, but do have the collection. See the [mirroring how-to](/help/mirroring.html) for details.
## The GUTINDEX Listings of EBooks
Updated at least monthly. These plain text files provide the basic information about each eBook, and are good for searching from your own system (for example, use control-F in a Web browser or word processor). Note that these files are not recommended for automation (that is, to use as input to generate a computerized database). Instead, use one of the catalog files mentioned below.
