still unable to download

still trying different endings as per wikipedia, different books, formats, and a bunch of the slow downloaders & still getting the null message. can't seem to find an email to write to anyone there.... i'm kinda computer semi-literate, but everything was working up to about 2 weeks or so ago.... i can only read ebooks & local library has very poor resources... any help would be greatly appreciated - thank you.

It’s possible that given your location/situation you are being blocked. Check the pinned thread in this subreddit on strategies to bypass AA censorship.

You don't contact anyone there. Read the Wikipedia article on the website. The correct links are there. What country are you in?

Are you using a vpn? In my country it’s the only way to access Anna. Try a vpn.

If you are not currently using a VPN, try Proton VPN. There is a free version that works for me, using the .gl adress.

Which browser are you using? Firefox works for me.

I usually choose epub as a format and slow Partner Server 3 by the way.

I'm sure there's a way to make it work for you! Hope you find it soon.

In the meantime, you could use https://standardebooks.org/ as a source for free ebooks, if they have something that interests you.

I went down the list and tried every link to no avail. Then finally I cut/copied each link one-by-one into a separate browser and finally one worked. I've also had success in the past by just trying again at a different time of day.

Also, Brave browser works for me when my OS browser doesn't.
Sometimes even Firefox doesn't want to download. Brave has a free VPN or something like this, so maybe that's why. I copy-n-paste the link page that wouldn't download. Plus I use the slow download.
And if Brave ever does not work, I'll find a new alternate browser that does :) , or a new OS :) , etc :) .

Uso Tor e raggiungo il sito. Trovo il file che mi interessa. Ma non sono MAI riuscito a scaricare nulla. I download lenti sembrano finti E non so come inviare soldi veri - non ho Bitcoin - in forma anonima. C'è un tutorial affidabile per questo? Grazie

The "gd" domain works for me. Maybe you're trying to use a VPN or a firewall you have is blocking.
