Update 01-09-2023: Z-lib has a portal with many ways to access z-lib called go-to-zlibrary.se and a banner warning of scam sites:
Update 05-05-2023: Z-lib’s domains including https://singlelogin.me/ have been seized by the US Department of Justice and FBI apparently – Torrentfreak
Update 13-02-2023: Z-lib is back on the clearnet go to https://singlelogin.me/ and once logged in you will be redirected to z-lib – torrentfreak
Update 17-07-2024: Z-lib singlelogin.me has been seized – their telegram recommends singlelogin.re or singlelogin.rs – torrentfreak
Z-lib’s domain names have been seized and it is difficult to get to the site with the regular internet now.
The site is still up and running on the overlay (network layered on top of another) network known as tor
– the onion router.
How to access z-lib with tor:
- Download the tor browser
- Go to zlib on onion: http://zlibrary24tuxziyiyfr7zd46ytefdqbqd2axkmxm4o5374ptpc52fad.onion/ using the tor browser downloaded in step 1
- The above link has changed (01-09-2023) to: http://loginzlib2vrak5zzpcocc3ouizykn6k5qecgj2tzlnab5wcbqhembyd.onion/
Or if that is not available:
- Go to a searcx instance on onion or use the default duckduckgo search engine – with the tor browser.
- Type
z-lib
into the search field - Click the z-lib result with an onion address (should end in
.onion
)
You must use the tor browser – a regular browser will not work
Portal: Go-to-zlib
Not sure how long this will be active but there are many options to get books with go-to-zlibrary.se.
There are desktop applications and in case the site goes down a copy can be acquired here:
- Windows zlibrary setup 1.0.0 exe
- mac zlibrary setup 1.0.0 dmg
- debian/ubuntu zlibrary setup 1.0.0 deb
