Alternatives to Library.nu

[LazyGuy]

I have been a happy user of library.nu for more than 3 years now
and i loved their content and their cyberlocker model

Now that Library.nu(Formerly Gigapedia) is down/not available to normal users like me,(donors and higher classed members can access the site)
i would like to know if there are any alternatives to it?

[marklefe]

have you tried some ebook trackers like bibliotik?

btw, I have no idea how library nu grew in the past few years, but I use to use it for free without sign ups back in the days, and I wasn't too impressed.

[LazyGuy]

thanks for the recommendations guys
but i am looking for alternatives which have nothing to do with torrenting

ebook torrents as we all know tend to die off, are not at all exhaustive, and are a bitch to seed back owing to the small file size

due to this warez sites like library.nu/avaxhome (ebookee,ebook30...) are much better suited for me
so please recommend me sites which follow the same model as library.nu and are as exhaustive in content as library.nu was

Try irc. It's basically all I use now for ebooks.

[Stabber]

try this one

thanks mate, could you list some irc channels i should have a look at?

Muchos Gracias
Grazie Mille!
Thanks a mill! :D

now thats what i was looking for mates
are there any more like it?

p.s.
i wonder if they really do index 1.2 mill books as claimed?

[adeey]

I have not tried IRC for books (or anything else for that matter) but intend to - it's been suggested to me to try, for novels:

Server: Undernet
Channel: #Bookz

Server: IRCHighway
Channel: #ebooks

Warez-bb (they have a 'Fiction ebooks zone' under their ebooks thread)
http://www.warez-bb.org/

http://forum.mobilism.org/index.php
have an ebooks section

and http://www.freebookspot.es/Default.aspx

I haven't had a good look at the last two, but they're worth trying.

thanks mate, could you list some irc channels i should have a look at?


adeey listed the ones that I was going to.

[freedom]

WOW, quite impressive. Thanks for this!

PS I am a avid reader and find that Demonoid and MyAnonaMouse have nearly everything I want.

[dandelionseed]

BookFinder, linked above, and Library Genesis ( http://gen.lib.rus.ec ) come the closest to making up for the loss of lnu content, of what I've seen.

[Hiccup]

WOW, quite impressive. Thanks for this!

Thanks a lot for the Library Genesis Link. It helped me find a book that I was looking for.

Any tutorial to share about how to use irc for downloading books? :unsure:

[adeey]

Try these:

http://www.calvinshub.com/2008/11/how-to-download-e-books-from-mirc/

http://encyclopediadramatica.ch/Bookz

I did (successfully!) follow the instructions in the first link, but I found a couple of things were slightly different - I think perhaps it might be using an older version of MIRC than what I had. I can't remember what exactly was different ... it was all a little much for me towards the end and I got brain freeze :wacko: ..... but it couldn't have been too different as I DID manage to download a book.

If you find any further guides or tutorials that are good it would be great if you could post them here.:yup:

thanks for the link mate,
it was very informative,
i will try out the IRC method tomorrow,

but just one question, since IRC DLing is P2P model, are you obliged to "seed back"(irc analogue) in any way?
or is it completely voluntary to be sharing (or not)?

Actually adeey posted it first, I just didn't see his post for some reason.

And LazyGuy, no there's no seeding. You just download and you're done. Pretty great.

[esco123]

will check out the sites you provided

The IRC channels website is also fairly helpful too.

[adeey]

Thanks for that, really helpful.

Missed it as well. Hopefully someone copied the list or can rebuild it here. maybe try to contact the blogger if there's anyway?

Library.nu shut down and sustitutes

I just heard that 17 publishers including Oxford University Press and Elsevier managed to get a German court shut down Library.nu and ifile.it.

I have been a registered user and donator of Library.nu for a long time. I am regretful and angry about this event. Like some people said, it is pretty much like the burning down of Library of Alexandria.

I feel like I need to do something about it. The greedy international publishers are stripping off my poor fellow third world young people's right to access modern academic knowledge.

Here I listed all the ebook site bookmarks in my browser. They can be good substitutes for Library.nu. My personal recommendation is Russian site Library Genesis. The number of books is even greater than that of Library.nu.(Face palm to Elsevier.) Please spread this, tell as many people as you can.

Many sites above are located in China and Russia. The Russian sites are not really deal breaker because they almost all have English interfaces. The Chinese ones are tricky but if you don't read Chinese books you probably don't need them.

You could also give I2P a try. I2P is an anonymous and decentralized darknet with a working torrent feature. A tutorial can be found here: https://rebuildingalexandria.wordpress.com/2012/02/21/secure-and-anonymous-file-sharing-using-torrents-on-the-i2p-network-library-nu-exiles-take-a-look/

Bibliotik just bit the dust.

[adeey]

Their website says:

Bibliotik has shutdown all operations. We are no longer able to assume the risks involved. The staff would like to thank everyone that participated and made bibliotik such a great place for so long. We love you guys!
