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.

## 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.
