That works for me. I think they are hosted by the same people, so probably temporary 🤷

That one's down for me, too.
Try changing your DNS server
Does changing my DNS server change this result?
Depends upon the cause. If AA is blocking certain countries, for example, and your uptime checker is running from one of them, well...
Or maybe both you and the uptime site are using the same DNS provider, which might be censoring AA.
Thanks for explaining. TIL.
Down detector does apparently not work for Annas Archive. The site itself works for me, but down detector shows it's down.
Maybe change your DNS and try again.
Try .se
They didn't work for me until I used Tor. Then they all worked.
Sounds like your government or ISP is blocking it
Strange, it's up for me with no issue.
Spanks Much!

Keep an eye also on https://www.reddit.com/r/libgen/comments/1n4vjud/megathread_status_of_libgen/
Has Z Lib just been down for a while? I think I remember using it not that long ago
Oh hey - thanks for that!
New favourite website!
It's probably temporary, this has happened before. But it does seem like most major AA sites are down.
This is a useful tool to track the main instances: https://open-slum.org/
The .org is down for me but .si isn't. It wouldn't surprise me if the Spotify download triggered some legal proceedings and resulted in a DNS name being blocked.
Any hope for original Libgen's comeback? Been waiting for a year.
comeback? I use it all the time with the .li mirror
It is not the official one but is better than nothing. The .li mirror is infested with cringy ads. Official ones such as .rs or .is never had any such crap.
ads? I almost never use a browser without ad blockers, so I never noticed.
