Thanks! I've seen a lot of stuff come and go, so thanks for the reminder.

For example, Libgen is out of commission, and the substitutes are hell to use.

Summary of what's up and not up:

> Libgen is out of commission, and the substitutes are hell to use

Somehow I also preferred libgen, but I don't think annas archive is "hell to use".

Annas Archive uses slow servers on delay, and constantly tells me that they are too many downloads from my IP address, so I flip VPN settings as soon as the most recent slow download completes. And I get it again after a short while. It's hell waiting it out and flipping VPN settings. And the weird part is that this project is to replace paper books that I already bought. That's the excuse one LLM uses for tearing up books, scanning and harvesting. I just need to downsize so I can move back to the Bay Area. Book and excess houseware sale coming, it seems. Libgen had few or no limits.

I would recommend donating to gain access to the fast downloads; they need money for the servers.

Oh no, why did Libgen die?

it's available at the bz tld

Shut down. See

for substitutes. The alternate libgen sites seem more limited to me, but I am comparing with memories, so untrustworthy.
