Nice!

Also, this site tracks the uptime of LG and other pirate libraries: SLUM: The Shadow Library Uptime Monitor.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't #ebooks basically just mirror Libgen?

Among the major book downloading websites, only libgen.li has ads, and only Anna's Archive has a countdown.

I'm not sure if #ebooks mirrors Libgen. I wouldn't be surprised if they copy from each other.

I have allergies against ads, countdowns, etc. The interweb is polluted with that stuff and so are most piracy sites.

I find irc to be much easier to use than the alternatives. Just a click to start hexchat and then it auto-connects to the right server and auto-joins the right channel. All within seconds. I even get my animes from irc like I did in 2005. 😁
