Why are shadow libraries so slow for few days?

submitted by

Like the top speed I’m getting is 6 KB/s from libgen and zlibrary. And downloads fail midway. And they didn’t provide torrent download for single books. Any recommended place to torrent books?

The Ukraine data centers that host most of their reverse proxies were hit by Russian drones. A lot of the internet underworld is offline or in backup mode

Seriously…fuck Putin.




Might be worth checking https://open-slum.org/

Good link tree. Thanks.



maybe try zlibrary telegram bot

Don’t have telegram 😅

well then i’d try annas, they have all zlib’s stuff and their download is slightly faster for me



Isn’t that bot down?

just tested now, it works





How is the IPFS situation?

As good as Tenfingers

Unfamiliar with that one. Pointer, please.

Tenfingers is like a modern easy to use IPFS. But it’s sadly not going anyway (like IPFS IMO).

IPFS is tricky, but can be made to work, at least at Libgen scale. Content discoverability is always a problem, so depends on the number of pins on the network.

Content discovery on IPFS is complicated as you cant update information (it makes a whole new key, which has to be discovered).

Which is not a problem for tens to hundres of terabytes of library documents, which are all static. And there’s https://docs.ipfs.tech/concepts/ipns/ and https://docs.ipfs.tech/concepts/dnslink/ but latter suffers the same problems as DNS.
