Although I just joined the forum, I am a high school teacher and have been using LibriVox audiobooks for years. I do not use an "app" and never download files. I go directly to the website, pull up the book I need, and start listening, chapter by chapter. I also refer my students to the site in case they want to listen and read along. Since the Christmas break, I cannot access any of the files. I go to the website, request the book through the search feature, and click on the title, which brings up the chapters. When I click on a chapter, I get the message "This site can't be reached." I have no idea what I am doing wrong. One of the computer techs at my school came by and said maybe your links were broken so I could not access them. I would appreciate help from anyone who has suggestions so I can access the files. I did not see a link to report technical or connection errors. Thank you.

This is an addition to my previous email.
I tried "Edge" and got the same result - no access.

What country are you trying from? A few restrict access to archive.org, where our files are stored, because of some of the material on that site.

Any book? If it's a specific book, please name it.

It sounds like something on your computer or network is blocking archive.org, possibly antivirus software or if you are using a school computer, some setting to restrict student access from the school's computers.
