SciHub Alternative which actually works (paperdownloader.cf)

The biggest problems my colleagues have with Sci-Hub is 1. the ever changing domain names and 2. the universities adapting DNS blocklist.

I try to make it a habit to bookmark the English Wikipedia page on sci-hub and follow the IP linked there as the most recent.


The above site automatically checks for working Sci-hub Links and uses the working link to get the papers.


Ironically it doesn't "work" properly on Nexus 6P, with a whole bunch of text and a part of the search bar cut off.


You can just zoom out. It 'works' properly on desktop.


Funnily enough I tried later on desktop and it kept sending me to a blank page with text saying "WTF dude".

"Works" is certainly an overstatement.


papers which are not available/are being downloaded will give that message. You can try after sometime
