This is how I found out. RIP to a real one.
Anna’s archive.
I hop on to TOR, but it’s pretty much the only thing I go onto TOR for. I got some soviet industrial manuals
I’m out of the loop. What happened to libgen?
Apparently libgen.rs is down
Edit: It’s back up
https://libgen.is/ is still working for me
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.
This seems great, thank you. Do you donate to them or is it good even for free users?
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).
The free downloads are slow, but as books are usually small, it is perfectly usable without donating.
I didn’t know libgen was dead
It’s not lol. Not sure what this person is talking about.
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
https://whereislibgen.vercel.app/
I can also see multiple instances of libgen. It’s not dead lol.
Libgen isn’t dead? A couple mirrors show 502 errors, but others don’t and can be accessed normally
Annas archive exists
Firstly, I search for the book among Telegram book groups. Then, Google/DDG/Bing/Yandex results for “[title of the book i’m searching] filetype:pdf”. If neither yields the book, I turn on my Tor and try to find it inside Imperial Library of Trantor. Worst case scenario, I try to find a working Z-Library HS. But some comments here added to my possibilities, such as Libgen (I knew Libgen from onion, but it’s interesting to see it also routeable on surface).
What telegram book groups would you recommend?
I’m Brazilian so I generally use public Brazilian (Portuguese) groups, publicly available through Telegram searches such as “Livros grátis” (“Free books” in Portuguese) or “livros pdf” (“pdf books”). There probably are similar anglophone groups as well.
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.
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.
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
one of its many mirrors whenever its dead
