- agumonkey 9y agoI find scihub/libgen a very important project actually. Mirrors should be done (not an order, just a plan).
- petepete 9y agoI've never heard of libgen but it's blocked by my ISP (in the UK)
- user5994461 9y agoIndeed. Access to the websites listed on this page has been blocked pursuant to orders of the high court.
- xvilka 9y agoSciHub has onion site scihub22266oqcxt.onion, I don't know about LibGen though.
- vog 9y agoHere in Germany libgen is not blocked.
