Lakitu's Western Philosophy Ebook Collection
A downloads is the number of how many times the torrent has been downloaded according to its tracker record
A seeder is a peer that has a complete copy of the torrent and still offers it for upload. The more seeders there are, the better the chances are for completion of the file
A leech is usually a peer who has a negative effect on the swarm by having a very poor share ratio - in other words, downloading much more than they upload. Most leeches are users on asymmetric internet connections who do not leave their BitTorrent client open to seed the file after their download has completed. However, some leeches intentionally avoid uploading by using modified clients or excessively limiting their upload speed. The term leech, however, can be used simply to describe a peer - or any client that does not have 100% of the data
A peer is one instance of a BitTorrent client running on a computer on the Internet that other clients connect to and transfer data. Usually a peer does not have the complete file, but only parts of it, however, peer can be used to refer to any participant in the swarm (in this case, also known as a client). Note that the colloquial definition of peer is anybody, leech or seed, involved in a torrent
A health (or avaiability) the number of full copies of the file available to the client. Each seeder adds 1.0 to this number, as they have one complete copy of the file. A connected peer with a fraction of the file available adds that fraction to the availability, if no other peer has this part of the file. (ie. a peer with 65.3% of the file downloaded increases the availability by 0.653, when two peers who both have the same 50% of the file downloaded and there is one seeder the availability is 1.5)

thru feedback i have learned two things you might want to know.
first, if you are on a mac, you will not have an english version of Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, due to an error on my part. (to satisfy your curiousity, both the files named "Wittgenstein, Ludwig - Tractatus logico-philosophicus" are actually spanish, but the .ISO collection of all his writing should contain it; win users can install the .ISO, but mac users cannot.) so if you are on a macintosh, or just want an individual copy of the Tractatus, download it from here: www.goodreads.ca/tractatus.pdf . it's the only .PDF version on the web i've found, so/but it might not be there long.
the second thing is, i omitted some books that shouldn't've been omitted; one of them is George Boole's The Laws of Thought, which, thanks to mpwd on undernet, i have been made is aware is here: <a href="/redirect?http://www.gutenberg.org/files/15114/15114-pdf.pdf">http://www.gutenberg.org/files/15114/15114-pdf.pdf</a>. if you notice others missing, please put up URLs to them on this page.
i made sure both of these are .PDFs, due to the notation involved in each. if someone finds a copy of the Tractatus in a more notation-preserving format, please just post the URL here. thanks
otherwise, as a final note, i added my nickname (lakitu) to the collection not so i would get (in)famous, but to distinguish the collection, so it would be more easily identifiable; 52 or 96 "philosophy ebook collections" all start to look the same otherwise. oh well.
have a philosophical day.
Its indeed heart warming to know that ppl still care about itellectual pursuits.
Thanks very much. I wish to download the whole thing, I hope I make it. Your seeds are required.
Thank you very much for this, will try to seed as long as possible.
I start university next year and I'm leaning towards philosophy at the moment, so this could give me a headstart. ;)
Awesome torrent!
you wouldnt happen to have this philosphy ebook would you?
