I was able to download some textbooks a while back but they never stayed permanent and I guess had some sort of DRM that made them expire after 14 days.

anybody have any way to get around that and download books from the Internet archive to keep permanently without issue?

I would just use one of the other download sites listed in the megathread but none of them have the book that I'm looking for. TIA

I may have to look into this. What do I have to do specifically to bring up the cache viewer for the browser?

I did something similar it sounds like to rip movies off of soap2day.to

You need a piece of software to do it. I know of one for chrome and for Firefox, so depends on your browser. Saw how to do it on a reddit post a year ago or so. Its always a pain to find again.
