Anna's archive acts as a drop in replacement for libgen and z-library, also doesn't cost anything
doesn't it rely on them ? more of an indexer...
No, more like a mirror in that it hosts all of zlib and libgen's content as well as providing torrent and ipfs links for the files (which they seed)
And yet when libgen was broken a couple of days ago it sent me to the broken libgen for the (admittedly obscure) thing I was after. Perhaps caching I dunno. Still, glad it's there...
From what I see, there are ~~4~~ 5 options on annas-archive.org
Use fast(but fee charging) direct download
Use ipfs
use torrents
Go to source pages (libgen and/or zlibrary)
Slow direct download [Edited]
It sounds like you clicked the link to the source as opposed to the mirrors
Nah, in this case there was only 4. I've seen the others before.
Huh, it seems it depends on the existing sources, I'm not particularly sure how that works
