Z-Library and Other Ebook Upload Sites (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Working link for Z-Lib: https://zlibrary-asia.se/

There're books I'm searching for that haven't been uploaded to the mainstream ebook sites (libgen, z-lib, AA, etc.) mainly lifestyle magazines and non-fiction books. I checked the links in the megathread and those sites don't have them either. So where do you all go when all else fails?

I'd love to learn how to pirate books on my own, since my only exposure is ripping books from The Internet Archive with Calibre. I've made book requests to Z-Library, but who knows when an uploader may get to it. VK used to be one of my go-to sources for magazines and novels, but it's harder to find legitimate links and many of the older uploaders seemed to have disappeared. Twirpx doesn't seem to get uploads frequently enough, so I've really only used it to upload new books myself or download outdated texts.

I would try a private tracker. MyAnonyMouse is easy to get in to.

I used to be on IPT but they disabled my account earlier this year after I forgot to login within the 3 month time frame. I tried reaching out via IRC and got banned because my connection kept rejoining(?) the channel while I left for about 30 min. until an admin/mod finally logged online and thought I was a bot. Doesn't MAM require proof of seeding and whatnot? I don't have a seedbox so I don't think I'd be able to join :(

The only thing MAM requires is a simple interview. Most of the questions are simply about the rules or "do you know what seeding, ratio, VPN, etc. is?". You have to log in periodically to keep your account but that is it. It is also extremely easy to keep a good ratio (lots of freeleach).

Oh thank you! I'll join when the next available time slot arrives. 😊
