Linux Journal died on August 7, 2019, because they ran out of operating funds. I put together this comprehensive collection of all the issues published (1994-2019) in PDFs, as well as a siterip of their main site, as well as a mirror of their FTP server.

Each part is compressed in a tar.xz archive to prevent people from doing a hit & run on this torrent, and to guarantee that it will be seeded for a long time to come. Hopefully forever. Compressing everything also makes the data size smaller, so less to download and less to seed, to spare people's bandwidth.
