Corpo scum are allergic to saying exactly what they mean, so they insist on hiding their intent behind flowery words that sound "good" to them. I guess they think that if they use weasel words, it'll soften the blow when they decide to strip out features and further destroy their platforms.
Well for one, they don't actually host anything on the site itself. Anna's Archive is technically just a search engine for searching through backups of all the Libgen mirrors and Zlib. Since they made a point of scraping and backing up these shadow libraries, even if those sites themselves (and Anna's Archive) go down, the backups will still be available. That on its own makes it a thousand times more useful to me than any single shadow library site. The backups are also hosted on IPFS and available via large torrent files, meaning anyone can download everything they have backed up and since their site's code base is open source, anyone can fork the site and rehost everything should the need to do so ever arise.
They seem to have a very sophisticated system in place for ensuring that everything they've hosted will always be available no matter what. It inspires a lot of confidence, in my opinion. I personally don't think they'll ever go down, or if they do, a different team can pick up the slack by rehosting everything on a different site.
Just tried out my custom URL and it still works for me. Site is accessible as normal. The app also works just fine as well.
The login site is down, but the Tor site should still be accessible, so all one would have to do is just go there, generate a unique URL, and then use that on their normal browser. Or better yet, just use Anna's Archive, which isn't prone to getting taken down like this and was specifically made to replace Zlib.
Would be nice if there was an option in the settings to turn on the ability to see upvote and downvote counts for every post and comment. It's pretty much the only reason I keep going back to Jerboa. I really like being able to see the amount of downvotes something might've gotten.
This page on Rentry has instructions for how to crack IDM. I've been using this method for a year now, it always works. Be sure to bookmark that page as you'll need to repeat the instructions whenever IDM updates, but the program only updates rarely so you won't even need to worry about that happening frequently.
I use a server with low latency when I'm just browsing the internet, watching YT videos, or playing a multiplayer game. When torrenting, I switch to a server with good bandwidth. Fortunately, I just recently started using a VPN that lets you sort servers by latency vs bandwidth, so I can easily switch back and forth depending on what I happen to be doing at the time.
In most cases I don't even need to do this though, since it's usually pretty easy to find a server that has both low latency and good bandwidth.
