Hello everyone,
As you may know, I'm the maintainer of MangaDex.zip, a server-side download solution that allows users to download chapters, range of chapters or entire manga directly from their browser.
The service has been sailing smoothly, and while I have stopped developing new features, it has been running without downtime or severe issues.
Unfortunately, due to the rising cost of IT infrastructure, I will no longer be providing the service, starting May 29th of 2026. This coincides with the expiration date of the domain, which will be renewed to prevent namesquatting for a year.
I could be interested with help in the following forms:
If you are interested, hit me up in #dev-talk (@\kuronekoda) and I'll contact you via a DM. The domain is not for sale or transfer unless approved by a MangaDex staff, as it is clearly their IP.
I'll post some usage stats when closing, but as of today I have 43k manga downloaded and 103k individual chapters downloaded (this does not account for API traffic and bots).
Until then, see you!

I could be interested with help in the following forms:
- Nodes to allow more concurrent downloads for end-users (this requires an average of 30GB of cache storage)
- Proxies, which would be like nodes but not running the download software (this does not require storage but still requires bandwidth)
- Full maintainers for both the code and infrastructure
