Re the OP Tokelau ( TK ) is a New Zealand dependency.

And, for a couple of weeks now (maybe longer but I haven't checked) the actual zlibrary has returned fully online - and they're begging for legal fees on a GoFundMe!

Writers will be pleased to know that the feds got into action yesterday and again closed down the zlibrary servers
