Seems to me like they are trying to get libgen into the spotlight so it might be shutdown. Remember library.nu?

"If you want to steal the text, it's pretty easy to find an illegal copy, but you can get a nice illegal copy from LibGen. There's little risk in stealing stuff off the internet,"



It looks like they implemented some countermeasures. There is an I2P service for the site and you can download torrents of the content: ftp://libgen.org/repository_torrent/
