As a fun experience, try downloading any sources you can on libgen about a low level programming language and then try to code on it without ever looking up the internet. Just these sources.
The fact that this is doable speaks volumes about how big of an information source it is. Not everywhere has good access to internet, but the knowledge to progress further is certainly obtainable.
Code a terminal application that downloads from libgen from a c tutorial book you downloaded from libgen

Never used libgen but this sounds fun, can I download in bulk? I wanna make a small lgbtq archive
you can download entire libgen archive if you are so inclined, there's even torrents list https://libgen.rs/repository_torrent/
So, its several torrents?
you don't know where's what, because torrents are packaged by submission date and not by topic
I saw the website, it is several torrents? Or is is one for the whole site?
there's 4265 torrents right now with 1000 pdfs per torrent. 120TB ish as of three years ago
Definetly can't store all that, will make myself a curated list I guess
Lemme google that
Yes. I combine libgen with Anna's Archive and Z-Library and there's very, very little I can't find.
Combine that with KOReader and this is pure bliss.
doesn't Anna's archive already include those two sources or is it incomplete?
I'm not completely sure. Sometimes I find stuff in one site I don't find in any of the other two. Also, I don't know how often catalogues are synced.
It's gift from the god.
I just now found a book recommendation and it's on my Kindle within 30 seconds.
Doesn't have everything, but does have quite a bit. Still 10/10, would use again.
If you happen to have access to a book or scientific paper not in libgen, please contribute back https://forum.mhut.org/viewtopic.php?p=9000
Unfortunately I'm not in any specific position to have access to things that could be of help.
But good to know.
libgen is awesome. Every book I searched for is there.
