> Soviet Russia used to have amazing collection
Meanwhile they still have flibusta.is where almost any book ever published in Russian can be downloaded one-click as structured XML (FB2) and the maintainer is dying of brain cancer right now after having paid for the server to run for some more weeks. Russian is among the top languages in terms of the amount of books published in it. Apparently we are witnessing two great libraries of humanity dying at the same time.
- eimrine 2y agoHurry up with downloading these from the website because the Flibusta author has reported on having glioblastoma few days ago, and there is no new leader for the project. The servers are going to be shut down and the good name is going to be spotless because of not reused. Probably this is why you told about "two great libraries of humanity dying at the same time". BTW all 450Gb of Flibusta can be downloaded via torrents but I don't know how to download all of Libgen.

See https://wiki.mhut.org/distribution:torrents https://wiki.mhut.org/distribution:torrents I just hope enough capable people will download everything to be able to create mirrors again someday. Perhaps the darknet can turn out a better place.
