    Libgen isn't dead? A couple mirrors show 502 errors, but others don't and can be accessed normally

    Lib Gen is fine.

    The press reported it was dead a few months ago for some weird reason. Never believe what you read.

          Thx!

          I don't use tor much. I try accessing it using clearnet where idon't have a working link currently.

          Good to know that it's still up although not accessible for me currently

    Amazed no one has mentioned MyAnonamouse. They have open sign ups pretty regularly, the best private tracker I've ever seen. Great for ebook and audiobooks both.

      Yeah I've never had to use anything other than MAM and Mobilism.org and nobody mentioned either

      Mobilism has been my first choice for over a decade, then if I can't find it, MAM and leave the pc on for 72 hours lol

    I hop on to TOR, but it's pretty much the only thing I go onto TOR for. I got some soviet industrial manuals

    The torrents are alive; as long as you can get the torrent links from libgen, you have access to the files. (No need to share whole archives either, you can pick & choose).

        The name of the pdf file inside the torrent is its md5 hashsum without the .pdf extension.

        On libgen.rs you can see the md5 hashsum on the download page; on libgen.li you need to look at the JSON file provided at the link on the search result , as they don't render it on the ui.

    Firstly, I search for the book among Telegram book groups. Then, Google/DDG/Bing/Yandex results for "[title of the book i'm searching] filetype:pdf". If neither yields the book, I turn on my Tor and try to find it inside Imperial Library of Trantor. Worst case scenario, I try to find a working Z-Library HS. But some comments here added to my possibilities, such as Libgen (I knew Libgen from onion, but it's interesting to see it also routeable on surface).

        I'm Brazilian so I generally use public Brazilian (Portuguese) groups, publicly available through Telegram searches such as "Livros grátis" ("Free books" in Portuguese) or "livros pdf" ("pdf books"). There probably are similar anglophone groups as well.
