Perfect. Right before the start of the new academic year, too!

Much like Voldemort, Libgen cares about people getting a quality education.

Website for pirating books. A godsend for me during university, where I saved 100s of dollars per semester, while getting the books in a digital format which I prefer.

Most domains (other than .li) were down for several days, making people worried it's gone for good.

Why they were down, you mean? In their TG channel they mentioned a cyberattack, that's all I know.

Thank you. I thought it got hugged to death with all the schools starting up.

Where are you getting this message from? Do they have a Telegram channel where you can get news?

What a relief.

Do I need a VPN for loading some books from there?

That might depend on where you live, but generally no, I think.
