It can be useful to archive magazines on the Internet Archive, especially if they're out of commerce and/or their parent company has gone bankrupt. However, active rightsholders tend to quickly take down materials on the Internet Archive: if something is popular, it was probably already uploaded and taken down; double check previous uploads before you upload stuff taken elsewhere.

Complete collections of magazines and journals are stuff that is often provided by enthusiasts ready for an easy bulk upload to archive.org. Many (private) ebook/magazines trackers exist but they're not always useful.

It can be useful to archive magazines on the Internet Archive, especially if they're out of commerce and/or their parent company has gone bankrupt. However, active rightsholders tend to quickly take down materials on the Internet Archive: if something is popular, it was probably already uploaded and taken down; double check previous uploads before you upload stuff taken elsewhere.

Web-based aggregators

  • Readcomiconline claims to have complete runs of almost 25k titles.

Indexers

Can be checked for torrents of PDF files and other "ebooks" formats:
