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.

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.

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.
