I mainly use libgen and private trackers but I heard something about some IRC chatbots and Usenet, any hindsights ?
I use b-ok.cc which is the thinking man's libgen, been fine for like 95% of the books I'm looking for
Non-fiction i usually use libgen, but irc is usually on top of the latest fiction releases. Maybe non-fiction too, not too many non-fiction i'm waiting around on.🤷♂️
Here's a good tutorial that got me back into it. irc ebooks
Most of these just pull from each other, there might be the occasional XDCC bot that has something that isn't on LibGen but that's pretty rare. There does seem to be some kind of split between LibGen and z-lib stuff, for some reason, but I'd guess that's because z-lib has some kind of internal economy where people share stuff there directly.

You must only be downloading nonfiction, because IRC has a much better selection of fiction.
idk I just search "Title .pdf" and dl whatever pops up. Maybe the winds and the waves preserve me from getting stuxnetted.
sometimes i use Soulseek to get some ebooks. i usually use it for music but it lets you search by filetype too.
it seems to. there are probably lots of differet files on SLSK but i tend to search by filetype(PDF,EPUB,MOBI). you have to know the title or author though, there's no browsing by genre or anything.
