Like the top speed I’m getting is 6 KB/s from libgen and zlibrary. And downloads fail midway. And they didn’t provide torrent download for single books. Any recommended place to torrent books?

The Ukraine data centers that host most of their reverse proxies were hit by Russian drones. A lot of the internet underworld is offline or in backup mode

IPFS is tricky, but can be made to work, at least at Libgen scale. Content discoverability is always a problem, so depends on the number of pins on the network.
Content discovery on IPFS is complicated as you cant update information (it makes a whole new key, which has to be discovered).

Which is not a problem for tens to hundres of terabytes of library documents, which are all static. And there’s https://docs.ipfs.tech/concepts/ipns/ and https://docs.ipfs.tech/concepts/dnslink/ but latter suffers the same problems as DNS.
True, until you need to move them. It’s really a cat chasing it’s tail problem IMO.
Do you use IPFS? Thanks for the links btw, I do know how the underlying tech works, thats why I think it’s nice but lacking. It’s like the grand-pa protocol for decentralised content. Better contenders exist, but I see no or very little use of any, IPFS included, which IMO is a shame.

well then i’d try annas, they have all zlib’s stuff and their download is slightly faster for me
