Libgen io download as torrent

It's very localized. True, but I gave a solution for such countries and other cases along the lines: use VPN. It fully recovers security. You only need to quit your local network to bypass MITM risk. VPN does a lot more for your security and privacy.

It is not less secure since there's no equivalent more secure option. Don't mix problems of your network access with global decentralization. Decentralization alone is a way for better security by obscurity, but you should appreciate that whoever makes the project are volunteers having scarce resource and who don't want to make it a job for making it perfect for infinitesimal concerns.

I have no idea what "original" you refer to in this context. If the Web is more secure with broken HTTPS here and there and fully centralized access, you probably didn't fully understand what the dWeb project is doing. That's probably better than my normal internet if it is known comprised, but isn't really a much better solution.

And yes, the equivalent more secure option is running a website on the boring old normal internet. This solution actually gives more power to centralized operators, allowing your ISP and government to take over the connection whenever they want, a problem that doesn't exist for normal websites.

If your more secure alternative must be decentralized, then Tor hidden services are the go-to option, running on a decentralized network with actual working and battle tested security. You can claim the problem is "infinitesimal" all you want, but until you point out a problem this solution solves that has more users being actively attacked than every person in China, I'll just assume you must be trolling.

What is the point of a decentralized solution that is less secure than the original and can be easily thwarted by more actors than the original which we know happens to entire countries in the real world? I've just reread my message above, it has many mobile typos. Sorry about that. I hope it wasn't too derailing. About MITM I'd like to add that this event is an exception even for a single person, since the same MITM cannot occur on different millions of network we all randomly switch.

Anybody would see that the target site doesn't behave as normal at some point, should such an event happen. Indeed, malicious networks exist and the key points here about them would be: 1 the current libgen.

Eventually MITM is not more than site defacing. It's not going to be unnoticed in a read-only project, if starts behaving suspeceously.

Everyone knows what results to expect from LG remember, the original LG project sets reputation and ethics as the top priority , there should be no issue to simply stop browsing. Also, to avoid local network tricks which can be very harmful , use VPN whenever possible.

Nowadays it seems to be a universal tool everybody should have. And don't connect to random WiFi networks ever. Only to those which belong to organizations you visit and are trusted.

Your post was correct, yes, since it stems from a mere HTTP protocol observation, but it ignores why it's the only way to access for some systems with some features, and that the expected harm of it for an average individual is practically zero. All variations of LG have been running without SSL for longer than a decade globally, and no problem.

So, on the practical foot it's not a concern, take into account my other comments about various issues introducing HTTPS in every part of the system. Let's quantify it somehow to actually see if this is a concern beyond an academic exercise: 1 user out of a million users on a million networks a year may get a wrong forward due to a MITM attack on his network and notice that it is not the site he has seen a hundred times before. The probability of such an event for an average individual is something like 0.

I call it a practical zero. Should one get a small permanent job servicing certification for a dozen randomly expiring systems and paying money with the risk that an expired certificate, should the person die, would practically block access to resource, to get the practical zero to real zero?

My answer would be definitely not, this would be waste of life. We all know Http has this flow, but return to that comment about using http: it actually tells you may not have access at all, if you use https not always, though, but that comment is a hint, not a statement you don't need security. Here's the choice: access with http or secure no access via https? I think there is no real choice.

Neither that comment tells you more than to remember a pattern to use with dWeb domain names which reliably works.

Summarizing, your logic is correct but not practically helpful. A scammer with a legit encryption was humiliating a legit project without encryption. I hope you get my point: don't make a storm in a glass of water, because some less knowledgeable people may take it as a real breach which it is not. The good thing is that the original LG offers and will keep offering multiple verification ways. Blockchain records viewable via blockchain explorers and similar public tools.

It's being worked on, though. For now only IP address forwarding works, but you can choose another way as per below. I'm not sure. Concluding, if you once learn a legit blockchain domain name, you can trust it's record since the record cannot be modified without direct owner's intervention.

It's cryptographically strong. It's not the case with conventional Web domains which are fundamentally rented. Someone is sitting between you and the legit software. Use antivirus. It's probably just a few steps away to finally build an IPFS version of sci-hub.

Sadly, I'm not a fan of the site's method of searching the libgen index by using sqlite's partial load feature [1] mainly because of the possible limited available storage issue. I remember the sqlite via static host discussion, but I don't understand what you mean by "the possible limited available storage issue". Can you explain? It's a feature which actually makes fast decentralized search real-time.

If no partial function is involved, it won't work before downloading the entire database. It's a feature and beauty, not something to dislike. It's just given. Immutability is a blessing and a curse for IPFS.

It's cool for preventing things like censorship. Something like SciHub would really benefit from it. However, for "real world" use cases, many people want to be able to remove or modify what they've uploaded.

Anyone who still wanted to view the old content still could, provided they had the right content id. God forbid you accidentally upload a "personal" photo, your only hope is that someone never comes across the content id of that image. There is no way to undo it! From my understanding if you accidentally upload a personal file, as long as no one downloaded it in the time you took to realize your mistake taking down the only node that has the file your computer in this case should effectively "erase it" in the sense that unless the node comes back up, even if someone has the id of that file they are SOL.

Ok, I have to ask, what is an actual difference between torrents and ipfs? I don't care for technical details, I mean the business logic, so to speak. Am I getting any of these wrong? The difference is the granularity. A torrent is like a tar file, it's a big blob of static data that can't be updated. IPFS in contrast works more like a file system, you have a top level directory that points to the content within it. If you want to change something, you just update the top level directory, while all the content within it can stay the same.

Each file on IPFS has it's own checksum and can be addressed individually. IPFS doesn't help much with censorship, as it has all the same issues as torrent in that area. It doesn't help much with privacy either, as it's all rather public. It's really for legitimate uses, not outside-the-law kind of stuff. The benefit of IPFS is that its granularity makes it much more useful for smaller tasks. For example you can host Git repositories or source trees on there.

IPFS dedups content, whereas if you have an identical file in 2 torrents but only one is seeded, you can't download it from the other one. As far as I know those are the only differences. BitTorrent, namely, has fixed chunks and data overlaps in them from adjacent files which make the format artificially merging different files and create difficulties to treat parts individually, e.

It looks like they couldn't get the basics deeply comprehended at the design stage. This is much neater in IPFS. Files and data blocks are individually handled, and there is no situation when a hash embraces several independent file fragments.

This is the only reason I don't use Readarr Fine when uyou snatch manually, as you can check and grab another but when you automate you are liable to end up with a drive full of junk that you never even notice until you come to need it Not in my experience, far better than the indexers readarr provides half of them private! See libgen. Appreciating the packaging, you put into your blog and unused information you provide. Here we have developed the list of household and reference sets for Financial Accounting which is used for students of libgen streams.

Libgen are no longer cool, most common disable them and they haven't been witness since MS released Known. The short answer as of November is that Mirror 3 seems to work on all the libgen sites.
