LibGen's Bloat Problem
One of my favourite places on the internet too. The thing is, you just search for what you want and spend 10 seconds finding the right book and link. While I'd love to mirror whole archive locally, it would really be superfluous because I can only read a couple of quality books at a time anyway, so building my own small archive of annotated PDFs (philosophy is my drug of choice) is better than having the whole. I think it's actually remarkably free of bloat and cruft considering, but maybe I'm not trawling the same corners as you are. Do kind of wish they'd clear out the mobi and djvu versions and make it unified however.
