All the mirrors of LibGen seem to be down. I think .bz was working yesterday but it's gone now.

Thankfully Anna's Archive is still up.

Majority of the original libgen seem to be down according to open slum. So this post seems generally correct.

They've been less stable lately, but I haven't heard any news about actual shutdowns. Still worrying ig

Don't forget to mirror their 1k torrents if you can
