Note - libgen.rs still works for downloads on Mirror #2. But nothing new is being uploaded. Get 'em while you can, or try annas-archive.org .
Popular shadow library LibGen appears to be struggling with technical problems. Regular book downloads stopped working last weekend and remain unavailable. The reason for the issues are unknown but, for now, internal troubles at the site seem more likely than a copyright-related enforcement action.
. . .
Starting last weekend, regular LibGen downloads suddenly stopped working. The outage suggests that there’s a problem with the storage servers, but there’s no official explanation.
The lack of communication doesn’t come as a complete surprise. A few months ago, the site already appeared to have some internal struggles. The person in charge of the site’s coding has reportedly been ‘inactive’ for a while.
This personnel issue may explain the database errors and technical trouble that resulted in broken functionality a few months back. It may also explain why new torrents are not being added on a weekly or daily basis. Presently, the latest torrent archive on the site dates back to April.

Id actually have to start using z library if they kill libgen
Brother I hate to break it to you but this is what comes up when you enter its url:
Why are these piracy websites not hosting inside Russia? I don’t think I’ve ever heard of Cs.rin.ru going down. Russia is legitimately the best country for piracy rn.
you have to make an acct now. they will send you a custom url to access it

just got some stuff yesterday from one of the mirrors.
piracy is hard to kill because its the basic human instinct of sharing and helping others. i’m sure they will actually have to seize it if they want to keep it down.
Libgen and scihub are great barometers for vibes in academia
sure hope not, i’ll be pissed if i have to figure out alternative ways to “borrow” books
i freaked out at first, but then remembered this shit is impossible to kill. except for sci-hub rip :( anyone lmk if there’s an alternative to sci-hub that has articles newer than 2021
Mirrors a libgen, sci-hub, z-library, etc. In addition to uploading its own stuff.
It also has an explicit continuation of sci-hub’s mission called SciDB
God damn rip scihub
I’ve been struggling recently, can’t get me damn books
Libgen is such an invaluable resource, I dearly hope we don’t lose it
Are there ways to support these book repos using something like torrent seeding or some other p2p system? I have a lot of storage and good proxy setups.
You can download all of Anna’s Archive via torrent afaik
edit: here
Nice! I’ll start seeding then!
Thanks!
.is and.li seem to be working fine for meWhen you press on the get button from .is that goes to library(.)lol it doesn’t connect. And .li seems to be working for some books but not the new one I uploaded.
Oh yeah I see that now. Hopefully it gets fixed soon . There have been issues like this in the past too
