libgen.fun is just focused on its own mirror, it does not recognize the other mirrors as true to the LG mission. The freeread.org wiki has some good info: http://freeread.org/reddit-libgen/

Library Genesis is the platform for the free library, founded in 2008 by bookwarrior.

freeread.org has a good summary, Wikipedia has some additional infos.

Thanks. I fixed it, see here: https://github.com/dessalines/torrent-tracker-health

Great question. Just focus on a subset of files/CIDs then.

All books are in demand, by someone, at some point, so random coverage is better than coverage by popularity.

The ceremonial first thread Q/A! Wish there was a better A.

• There’s no evidence of the publishers monitoring the torrents or any uploaders (yet). They have always gone after the domains. But IPFS is a completely new frontier.
• Your IP is public facing, you’re connecting to actual clients who are downloading from you.

If you’re not in West Europe or US/Canada then your legal risk exposure is reduced greatly, but not erased… I’d never tell anyone it is 100% safe.

Ayy thank you for the announce!

And CRAZY concidence you’re the guy that helped kick off the original seeding initiative for libgen with your dessalines/torrent-tracker-health tool. Thank you for that, the success of the seeding project wouldn’t have been possible without you.
