I finished reading a book recently and when logging into Library Genesis I find out not only my usual mirror is down, most of them are and the few that work don’t have direct download links, instead, request links you have to paste on their Discord so a bot grants you a link… that doesn’t work either because their servers are saturated.

Anna’s Archive free downloads are also saturated, and none I’ve tried were working.

In their subreddit r/libgen the word is the zuckerborg has been hoarding/collapsing all their traffic to train his AI model, Llama, at the expense of others.

Really dystopian take on all this. I have almost a decade religiously downloading a book each 1 or 2 months only to find, yet again, another megacorporation, is enshittifying something I like.

Where can I pirate knowledge now?
