One of my most used websites! I hope it isn’t permanently gone kitty-birthday-sad does anyone know anything? And more importantly does anyone know a good alternative?

Libgen was in trouble after meta pirating books fiasco. Annas archive will work fine as an alternative.

Here are some working mirrors for now

https://libgen.li/

https://libgen.gs/

https://libgen.vg/

https://libgen.la/

https://libgen.bz/

You can find mirror links here https://libgenis.website/mirror-links/

For anyone whose downloads are slow enough from Anna's Archive that they fail throughout the download process: download JDownloader 2 and paste the Anna's Archives download links there, works equally slow but the download isn't halted.

Edit: or do what the commenter below (@knfrmity@lemmygrad.ml) recommended, idk I'm not a computer lmao

If you use Calibre to manage your ebooks (or even if you don't) I can't recommend calibre-web-automated-book-downloader enough.

It bypasses cloudflare checks, waits for the download cue, retries on fail, and integrates seamlessly with the calibre-web-automated ingest feature.
