As of November 4, 2022, the Z-Library staff has only noted a hosting issue, and has not noted otherwise; the website's hidden service on the Tor network was still accessible.
Lol they can take the ICANN domain but good luck taking down servers that can point to different tor addresses, but for real, domains that we could own instead of renting would be cool
Fortunately someone did back up just in time: http://2urmf2mk2dhmz4km522u4yfy2ynbzkbejf2cvmpcbzhpffvcuksrz6ad.onion
They seized the domain but Z-Library (the original!) is still accessible via tor: http://zlibrary24tuxziyiyfr7zd46ytefdqbqd2axkmxm4o5374ptpc52fad.onion
Not the same address. More than one? That's important.
Check the sites content, they are two different, even if related, projects.
The onion I shared is the official z-library.
Thanks for the link.
You are welcome :)
Bummer. Fortunately I have enough backuped pdfs for more than my remaining lifetime lol
There's conversation on Hacker News
What was ZLibrary providing?

Pppssss:
I have noticed that the domain 1lib.mx (which used to point to z-library) has been seized and the DNS has been changed.
How is it possible that the US can seize foreign domains? What is the (legal) basis for that?
