    Just came across Anna’s Archive this week and it’s awesome!

    My wife stopped reading a book half way since she’s pregnant and could not get comfortable while holding the book. Five minutes later I had a downloaded copy loaded onto her eReader and she could continue lying down.

    Unfortunately we have seen the disappearance of one of the LibGen forks. We don’t have further information about what happened there, but are saddened by this development.

    Really concerning since CloudFlare won’t let me get past the human verification screen.

    Anyone know anyway around?

      This is a shot in the dark because I admittedly have absolutely no idea, but did you try 3rd world vpn servers? I noticed I’m subjected to less bullshit overall if I choose servers in countries that aren’t considered 1st world.

      .is domain is kill, but .li is still fine, as well as Z-lib, you can download there - Anna’s Archive provides a link whenever available, under external links.

      As for Cloudflare, I sometimes have problems with it on Firefox, it likes to get stuck in a loop. Try opening it in incognito, without extensions, to see if any of them might be causing the issue. If that doesn’t work, try opening the link in an another browser.

        The cloudfare issue is currently the biggest reason I cannot recommend base Firefox to anyone. Maybe it’s a me thing, but no amount of turning extensions on or off was able to fix it on my end

        I can at least confirm, though, that the forked Mullvad browser is able to get around this issue, but I can’t speak for any other forks.

          It’s not just you. For me, for whatever reason, it used to get stuck regularly, for months on end, regardless of the extensions. Then it suddenly started working almost perfectly, maybe half a year ago. Now it works fine like 75% the time but still gets kind of stuck from time to time.

    Nice, it looks like they also mirror HathiTrust now?

    Pity about .is, over the last year it’s probably been offline more than online. It was the original one, but AA carries on the torch.
