Ask HN: Now that ZLibrary’s gone, where do you download books?

I posted this elsewhere but worth mentioning again:

If you use Telegram, you can use the Zlib bot to search for and get books sent to you over Telegram:

https://t.me/firstlibrarybot

[Max size <50MB]

Also, the website is still available on Tor:

http://articles24t2d47kb6rbabobokvrnymh2smkleosntcu6qxou6sxe... (articles)

I find browsing for what I want on the Tor site, then using the Telegram bot to download it works best, as the site is better for browsing, but download speeds via Tor are pretty slow. Telegram downloads seem as fast [if not faster] as they were on the old website
