Ive been using one of the libgen.XX mirrors for a while. Its not working. Neither are the links on a site of all the mirrors.

Is torrent the only way to go now for books? Click to download was so easy.

This gives a good guide on how mirrors on each service are

Doesn't load for me ☹️

Some ISPs block that site via DNS. If you switch your DNS server to something like 1.1.1.1 it may work.

Nah I figured it out. Zenarmour updated and blocked it for some reason.

Do you pay? None of the "slow" links load for me. So not sure I trust them to pay.

[–] plankton@programming.dev 1 points 3 weeks ago

I know someone who pays and she's never had issues. I don't pay because I rarely need books and I can leave it to download slowly

What happens with the slow link? I had an issue with a textbook, which I fixed by choosing a different filename before downloading. idk what causes that

Check out IRC. If you search 'irc ebooks' there's a pretty easy to follow guide from Reddit on how to do it.
