My custom URL works fine for me. Zlibrary never went down really, there were always alternative ways to access the site and that still stands. The TOR site is still up and running too.

Lucky you, mine won't work :( But I'll try TOR
Try to get your hands on the mobile app too, it was also resilient when the site went down :)
Just tried out my custom URL and it still works for me. Site is accessible as normal. The app also works just fine as well.
The login site is down, but the Tor site should still be accessible, so all one would have to do is just go there, generate a unique URL, and then use that on their normal browser. Or better yet, just use Anna's Archive, which isn't prone to getting taken down like this and was specifically made to replace Zlib.
How does it survive where ZLib cant? I love that there is a live alternative, but surely it will suffer the same fate eventually.
Well for one, they don't actually host anything on the site itself. Anna's Archive is technically just a search engine for searching through backups of all the Libgen mirrors and Zlib. Since they made a point of scraping and backing up these shadow libraries, even if those sites themselves (and Anna's Archive) go down, the backups will still be available. That on its own makes it a thousand times more useful to me than any single shadow library site. The backups are also hosted on IPFS and available via large torrent files, meaning anyone can download everything they have backed up and since their site's code base is open source, anyone can fork the site and rehost everything should the need to do so ever arise.
They seem to have a very sophisticated system in place for ensuring that everything they've hosted will always be available no matter what. It inspires a lot of confidence, in my opinion. I personally don't think they'll ever go down, or if they do, a different team can pick up the slack by rehosting everything on a different site.
I'll look into it :)
Hop to Annasarchive.org
omg ilysm thank you!!!
I'll check it out
Do they support OPDS? Cant fined any documentation on that about it.
Not that I am aware of.
http://bookszlibb74ugqojhzhg2a63w5i2atv5bqarulgczawnbmsb6s6qead.onion/ works great for me. Use Tor Browser.
I will definitely check it out
They switched their singlelogin TLD a while ago. The new one is .re
Thanks!
Don't think there's any way to take down all "custom URL's". Last time I tried it the .onion link was fine.
