I believe sci-hub has been taken down, at least temporarily. The .cc and .bz domains weren't working for me. I think it's possible to setup custom DNS servers on your machine and access that way, but I haven't played around with it.
It's still possible to use Sci-Hub, it's just that DNS queries for it tend to fail. Even knowing the IP address isn't enough, because although that gets you to the familiar Sci-Hub home page, search results always time out.
The trick is to find out the IP address of a DNS server or two that knows about Sci-Hub, and put those in your /etc/resolv.conf file.
Note: They have to come first in the file, before any 'compromised' DNS servers like Google's or your ISP's, that will always report 'sorry, I don't know how to find this "Sci-Hub" you speak of'.
If you're on a Windows machine, do it in Control Panel instead; dig down in Network settings, TCP/IP, Advanced, DNS to find the place to type in new DNS server IP addresses.
Do that, and Sci-Hub works fine. Twitter is a good place to find the latest working IP addresses for their DNS server. Last time I looked, they were 80.82.77.83 and 80.82.77.84.
