When a URL fails: 1. Search: `[site name] mirror 2026` or `[站名] 最新地址` 2. Check Reddit/Twitter for community mirror lists 3. Anna's Archive = most resilient ebook meta-search 4. For Chinese cloud search: check 网盘之家导航 for latest links ## References | File | Content | |------|---------| | [ebooks.md](references/ebooks.md) | Ebook sites, academic papers, audiobooks, manga, Chinese books | | [video.md](references/video.md) | Torrent sites, DDL, subtitles, anime, Chinese video | | [music.md](references/music.md) | Free music, download tools, Chinese music, podcasts | | [software.md](references/software.md) | Software archives, package managers, Chinese sites | | [media-assets.md](references/media-assets.md) | Stock images, video, audio, fonts | | [cloud-search.md](references/cloud-search.md) | Chinese cloud drive search (百度/阿里/夸克) | | [education.md](references/education.md) | Free courses and MOOCs | | [tools-reference.md](references/tools-reference.md) | Detailed CLI syntax and advanced flags | | [search-techniques.md](references/search-techniques.md) | Google dorks, search strategies |
