You’re welcome I’ll share even better books later.

This site immediately got flagged by uBlock Origin’s malicious sites filter, do you have an Anna’s Archive link or an ISBN I can use to look this book up?

No problems here, URLvoid and Webbkoll don’t show any security issue, Limewire is a legit site. For sure a false positive of one of the uBO filters

Yeah on one of my browsers it flagged it. Which is odd because Limewire is a legit business that’s been around before social media, but they use to get hated on by companies and regulators because they allowed people to share free music. I don’t have any other links personally. As I directly uploaded this file myself. I see that 70 people downloaded it so far with no problem.

I would recommend making an exception on your ublock for it, after you research limewire and see if you trust it.

I should point out that even though Limewire used to be a “legit” business, the current interation is little more than crypto grifters using a nostalgic brand to prop up their tokens, and they’ve already been doing shady shit like taking over snapdrop.net (previously local network file sharing) with little to no warning to the end users. They’re in many blocklists for a reason, y’know.

For more information, please check out the “Name reuse by unrelated companies” section of their Wikipedia page.

Limewire has had a history of uploaders using it for malware distribution (hence why it’s probably included in the filter).

Fair enough, I didn’t think about that. But I feel every torrent or sharing site has that potential flaw.

Just use soulseek, limewire is blocked for a reason

102 downloads so far. I guess it’s not blocked. Just because you all don’t like a site or platform doesn’t mean I’ll conform. I’ll check soulseek at my leisure though, if it is superior in functionality and efficiency then I will switch.
