Is it temporary or are we at risk?

Try https://annas-archive.li/

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

That one's down for me, too.

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 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.

Oh hey - thanks for that!

Has Z Lib just been down for a while? I think I remember using it not that long ago

[–] Grimpen@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 week ago

New favourite website!

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.

[–] HoleSailor@feddit.org 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Any hope for original Libgen's comeback? Been waiting for a year.

[–] yardratianSoma@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

comeback? I use it all the time with the .li mirror

[–] HoleSailor@feddit.org 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] yardratianSoma@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

ads? I almost never use a browser without ad blockers, so I never noticed.
