This seems great, thank you. Do you donate to them or is it good even for free users?
The free downloads are slow, but as books are usually small, it is perfectly usable without donating.
It's alright for free. The slow downloads are still perfectly usable unless there are server-side issues, and they also provide links to other mirrors (libgen.li, which is still up, Z-lib, and IPFS).
I didn't know libgen was dead
It's not lol. Not sure what this person is talking about.
Z-Library. Despite reports of its demise I've seen no interruption of service. And of course if there's one I want to pay for I'll buy a printed copy.
I'm using the z-library app. It does the searching for me :)
Just needed to remake a Z-lib account recently (without an account you can read but not download I think), and an alias from simplelogin worked. With temp-mail services I wasnt getting the confirmation email. And I ain't gonna use my domain for pirating, sorry :)
As they should
Libgen isn't dead? A couple mirrors show 502 errors, but others don't and can be accessed normally
I'm out of the loop. What happened to libgen?
Apparently libgen.rs is down
Edit: It's back up
I can still visit this instance
Annas archive exists
Anna's archive.
How long has it been? It's just a 502, happens sometimes.
couldn't be that long. i was on the site a couple days ago.
Amazed no one has mentioned MyAnonamouse. They have open sign ups pretty regularly, the best private tracker I've ever seen. Great for ebook and audiobooks both.
Yeah I've never had to use anything other than MAM and Mobilism.org and nobody mentioned either
Mobilism has been my first choice for over a decade, then if I can't find it, MAM and leave the pc on for 72 hours lol
You just have to stay active as a community member and balance wedges and points for certain downloads. And have a strong no leaching policy
Yeah, I've gotten a lot from free leech and then just leave it running all the time to get points for other books.
Lib Gen is fine.
The press reported it was dead a few months ago for some weird reason. Never believe what you read.
How do you access it? I've got no working link
Thx!
I don't use tor much. I try accessing it using clearnet where idon't have a working link currently.
Good to know that it's still up although not accessible for me currently
This is how I found out. RIP to a real one.
The torrents are alive; as long as you can get the torrent links from libgen, you have access to the files. (No need to share whole archives either, you can pick & choose).
Nice. Althoigh it's difficult to find a specific book via torrents, isn't it?
The name of the pdf file inside the torrent is its md5 hashsum without the .pdf extension.
On libgen.rs you can see the md5 hashsum on the download page; on libgen.li you need to look at the JSON file provided at the link on the search result , as they don't render it on the ui.
I hop on to TOR, but it's pretty much the only thing I go onto TOR for. I got some soviet industrial manuals
Never knew it was dead, that's a sad loss. Hope it comes back, I used to use there quite a lot.
the .rs one might be dead but afaik the .li fork is still up. And then there’s annas archive mirroring both and more.
