One of my most used websites! I hope it isn’t permanently gone 
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
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.
Edited my comment to refer to you. thanks!
Thanks for the mirrors. I couldn't find working ones for some reason (I wasn't looking thay hard)
You're welcome 
Use Anna’s Archive
Don't use ananas archive which is just pineapples
I've noticed it comes and goes.
Hopefully it lives on for many years.
Openlib is an android app with a built-in e-reader that downloads from Anna’s (which combines LibGen, Zlib, and a couple others).
Banned? DM Wmill to appeal.
