For those who may not know, this is a front-end to LibGen. I like the search feature more and use it now and then, but for me the 5-downloads-per-24h limitation is usually quite limiting.
Promotion of piracy web-sites on the front of HN, nice. While we're at it, gen.lib.rus.ec is a good one, too (less fancy but without the 5 books/day limitation).
I was <i>so</i> excited at the prospect of Z being on the front page, but sadly the wrong one for me<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z_notation" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z_notation</a>
This looks pretty sketchy. The FAQ, blog and DMCA links from the posted page all 404. Seems odd for a site that supposedly has been providing ebooks since 2009<p>I'm not even going to try clicking the book, article or sign in links
I was under the impression that (at least the books section) is a giant free-for-all download archive, i.e. pirated works (== download epubs of commercial novels you didn't pay for).<p>What am I missing?
To be clear, the real zlib lives on <a href="http://zlib.net/" rel="nofollow">http://zlib.net/</a>
The .org variant is basically typosquatting the name.
