#4I like reading about IPFS, but I do not really have the time to learn about it and get involved.
Last I remember, Z-Library was having an issue scaling the DHS to handle the number of files [1]. Did those issues get resolved? How is it going now? Also, is there anything being done to ensure every file has seeders?

ZFS (Zettabyte File System) is very much separate from Z-Library (and its alternative frontends like libgen).

#8I just did a quick test, it could do with slightly fuzzier searching ('Epub' as an extension got me no result while 'epub' did, a drop down menu with options might be better/simpler for some fields) but, otherwise, it seems functional and useful.

#9FWIW https://libgen.rs already has good search for basically the same books. I like the denser layout that makes better use of whitespace than this HN submission does.

#10Fantastic, I knew something would come up eventually after the old site was taken down.
