Agreed. Almost every darkweb site goes in and out over time, where I agree
that libgen.rs is temporarily offline when tested with an onion browser
just now.

Yes. I have the same experience as you do. I feel that Anna's Archive is
one of the most comprehensive epub archives if a bit tricky to navigate.

Others are https://www.base-search.net/, https://openlibrary.org/,
https://www.tandfonline.com/, http://zlibrary.to/ and the onion site
http://bookszlibb74ugqojhzhg2a63w5i2atv5bqarulgczawnbmsb6s6qead.onion/

But they come and go. And come back. And go again. It's a revolving door.

What do you do when it comes to setting the latency for magnet links?

That is, when you copy a magnet link, how much time do you let pass before
you use that magnet link which you copied, pasted in a bittorrent client?
