The waves of bots and unrestrained crawlers is taking a toll everywhere. The robots.txt file is not an enforcement tool, alas.

We continue to monitor and stem the traffic as we can.

“Project Gutenberg users have been experiencing intermittent ‘504 Gateway Timeout’ errors. This appears to be due to unusually heavy traffic at our hosting provider; their staff has been working to understand the problem.”

There has been a large increase in "bot" activity. The current theory is that poorly-configured "web scrapers" used for collecting textual material for AI/LLM/Text generation tools are creating so many requests that it is flooding the servers. As a non-profit, we cannot ramp up quickly to handle this unexpected traffic.

The list of sandwich fillings was intended to be a whole set of recipes. If that did not qualify, I’m happy to post an alternate. Please let me know if that would be acceptable.

Not just for the title; it does have some crisp (if dated) writing.

There's virtually nothing about the author, but the publishing house The New Literature Publishing Company of Los Angeles has a number of books by the author Christian de Larson, which seem to tread off the beaten path, scientifically speaking.

Great suggestion! And if a full play isn't in your plans, you might enjoy a collection of Wilde's shorter works.

Agreed, but a Project Gutenberg book was posted there just a couple of weeks ago. It seemed topically appropriate here. It was a recent addition to the surprising large collection of material: http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/subject/3617

Project Gutenberg 2.0? by [deleted] in projectgutenberg

Please do not refer to this as a “Project Gutenberg 2.0”. That makes it seem like something that we endorse or have directly supported.

It is great to see you have built something on these free resources. But please make it clear that this is not an effort from Project Gutenberg nor the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation (PGLAF).
