#4Title is wrong, the updated configuration (https://wiki.mhut.org/_media/software:libgen_desktop_mirrors...) is using ipfs.com and cloudflare-ipfs.com, so it's still being fetched over HTTP(S), not IPFS.

#5The ´Books' tool [1] has been doing the same for a long time as well, can be used anywhere where Bash runs and - given its shell-based nature - is eminently hackable. It comes with a CLI (named 'books'), TUI ('nbook' and 'nfiction') and GUI ('xbook' and 'xfiction') and supports both IPFS, Bittorrent as well as direct download. It can search on all fields.

If it's not open source, how can one trust it in such a sensitive question as accessing libgen?
If it is open source, then the support may eventually materialize.

Non technical people aren't the ones who use LibGen though, right? There are things like PDFDrive that has found some popularity in my country.
