YSK : Scihub hasn't added any new papers since the trials began (2020) . If any one wants new papers there are alternatives such as the nexus project , there is a working bot on telegram that I use from time to time

No new papers since 2020? :( Maybe because of that I didn't find a paper I wanted to read. How does the nexus project work? I dont use telgram and dont want to download an app or create an account for one paper. Is it possible to access the nexus project thru the web and just simple download from there instead? Or is there any other web sites like sci-hub on the web that have newer papers than 2020?

Yes, it's possible. Their current web gate: https://standard--template--construct-org.ipns.dweb.link/

Even if Scihub will never add any new paper again, it will remain extremely useful, because it contains a large number of older papers that are very difficult to obtain from any other source.

For the new papers, a significant percentage can be found as preprints in arxiv or the like, or are published in open-access journals, so the difficulty in obtaining them is typically less than for older papers that are still important.

Moreover, even if I pay a non-negligible amount of money for the access at certain journals, I frequently prefer to search for their articles on Scihub, because I can get them so much faster, without wasting time with logins or with searching for articles in the wrong place, because they were published elsewhere.

Is there a public Torrent of the entire collection?

This doesn't seem to be true. A quick search on their home page shows a bunch of articles from 2021 and 2022. I caught a few 404s and messaged Alexandra, she says this is some bug and she'll look into this.

Btw, using this opportunity to remind everybody about her donation page: https://sci-hub.ru/donate

I do recall there being a trial in India that paused uploading but I am pretty sure that was resolved a year or two ago
