PSA: Download on your hard drives, never trust online hosting. (sh.itjust.works)

TLDR: Download your content offline before it gets lost forever.

From now on you should never trust online hosting, I started seeing a lot of piracy sources( Streaming websites, torrent indexes,.. Etc) get shut down.

So I highly recommend for all pirates to download anything they want offline to reuse and don't trust keeping it online, sadly for me, a lot of material had been lost as there is almost no online service or piracy service has it( I am talking about material that is 5-10 years old.).

I know that this is not the first time piracy websites/hosts gets taken down but this time feels different as it became aggressive and I feel that in the next months a considerable amount of content are going to be lost.

Can someone explain to me why these services were on the clearnet to begin with?

i2p and Tor are really slow + the amount of people who use them are small compared to the clearnet and also a lot of those websites have ads on their website which would not work on i2p or Tor , so it does not make any sense to host it there.

I guess z-library needs to make a template on how to get a setup like theirs working. Unlimited subdomains lmao

Ads work on .onion. I'd never click one, but you can show a banner no problem.
