There was a site with a bunch of Japanese novels. It had the contents of the Japanese Literature v9 zip too (as I uploaded it), but it had much more than that. It also had some western literature and stuff, but its main purpose was japanese lit.
These books have now been purged.
So, I made a MEGA folder with all the stuff. Just the Japanese lit folder is about 900MB. The full thing is about 3.5G.

Mega has the advantage of letting you download folders as zips, and of having a download queue. Oh, and of letting you import stuff to your own account, so do make one-click backups in case my folder were to die.
If anyone wants to add books or whatever, let me know.
You're doing God's work, anon!
Thank you.
Free access to 100% literature 100% of the time devalues it.

Economically? Debatable. I pirated Dostoevsky first, and then bought him. Same with Orwell. And both Murakamis.
If I hadn't pirated them first, I most likely wouldn't have bought them. But if I had pirated them and they were shit, I would still haven't bought them.
Culturally, on the other hand? The more people read Orwell, the better, and his legacy won't be devalued whether you have free access to him or not. Hell, he himself gave a fuckton of free copies of Animal Farm to a bunch of countries, and wrote one of the best prologues ever for said edition.

Bumping to inform more people.
Thanks guys

Since it wasn't literature that you valued in the first place, indeed it does. Stick to collecting physical books and you'll do fine, the rest of us will be reading.

Do you read or do you amass torrents that have more titles you could read in a lifetime while wasting your days on 4chan?

Not him, but both. And it pays off.
Here's an example. A few months ago, some guy asked for a good epub version of Neuromancer in /wsr/. So to fulfill his request, I searched in KAT, and found a version of the Sprawl trilogy with superb formatting, hand-edited by the guy who uploaded the torrent. You can find the thread in the /wsr/ archive. Let me see... >>>/wsr/33351
Just to check the quality of the ebooks, I downloaded the torrent as well before recommending it, even though I have the paper books. And I'm glad I did and didn't delete the files, because the torrent got struck down (as you'll be able to see if you access the link in the /wsr/ thread archive I linked), and the epubs would've been lost forever if I hadn't downloaded them.
Luckily for all of us, I'm OP, and the William Gibson folder has this version of the Sprawl Trilogy.
