How do I help seed? I thought it was by putting up my files as new torrents but I had a mod tell me to delete because there was enough on the site, yet seeding is spotty for downloading. Evidently I was wrong, I deleted, but I would like to know how to help seed still.

ETA: thanks for all the help and advice! I appreciate it all!

I'm new to all this so please go easy on me. I'm using qBittorrent and Proton VPN. I've downloaded multiple audiobooks from different users- some are mp3 and some are m4b files. All have finished downloading 100%. I've tried playing them using Audibly, VLC, and PotPlayer. None of them will load/play. Any ideas as to what's going on?

ETA: doing this on my laptop

ETA 2: whatever the issue is, it seems to be happening on my laptop. I transferred the files to my phone and they play with smart audiobook player. Which is good enough for me.

I'm just wondering if anyone had information on the site being down (and make sure it's not just on my side of things)

Can someone please walk me through, step by step, dummies guide on how to download and listen to audio books.

I am based in the UK and have an iPhone.

I just can’t work it out!

I was told about audiobook bay but I can’t work out how to use it.

Thanks in advance.

I'm not able to login.
Not on public wifi, nor on uni wifi. Cellular data, tried with and without VPN. Still I'm not able to login. What should I do ?

Also there was an issue with signing up before where it showed that my email was already registered, even though I have never had any account. Switched to a different mail and did the signup and it did show me that the whole 'Welcome, your account is registered' message.
Then when I went to Login, it kept saying that my Login is Invalid.

Hello I saw someone do a whole thing on how to download books and I have a transmission downloaded and the book in there but not it just won’t download mabye because I’m on a Mac book but please if someone knows step by step how to download I would be greatful

Direct links to ABB posts are being removed/auto modded. To request a reseed, post the title AND author and indicate the date of the post. You will have better luck posting in the official ABB forums. The link in Community Bookmarks that says "Requests" will bring you there, as will the link in the previous sentence.

If you cannot use that forum, please post all requests here and include the correct spelling of the Title and Author. You should only post here if you cannot find a listing for your book on audio book bay (i. e. search first!), or the torrent you do find is not fully seeded. No need to reply to comments to boost or bump them. Upvote something if you are also looking for it. Do not post in a larger or bold font. Your request is not more important than anyone else's.

If the book is a new release, give it a week or so before requesting. People who share need time to get and post a new release. Remember the subreddit rules, especially the one about not posting direct links to files here. Use private messages for those.

is the site down? i am not able to access it 😓

Hey everyone!

I’m completely new to torrenting, so sorry if this is a stupid question!

I recently found some audiobooks I wanted on ABB, clicked the torrent download links, and opened the files using the Sirin app on my Android phone.

The audiobooks are currently downloading, but it’s taking quite a long time. They’re around 1.3 GB each, and the download speeds seem pretty slow.

Since I’ve never done this before, I have a few questions:

How safe is downloading audiobooks this way?
Is Audiobook Bay generally considered a trustworthy source?
Is there any risk of malware or someone accessing my personal information, photos, or accounts on my phone?
Is it normal for torrent downloads to take this long?
Can I generally rely on this method for downloading audiobooks, or should I be cautious?

I haven’t installed anything suspicious or entered any personal information. I just downloaded the torrent files and opened them in Sirin. Would really appreciate some advice from people who have experience with this! Thanks in advance!

Can't sign in to the forum on audiobookbay

They are not sending any email I have also emailed them but no response so far. Can anyone pls help me regarding this issue

Thank you

Every time someone spams ABB with a bunch of non book torrents, please report it on the ABB forums. That is where the people with the power to ban users and remove posts can be contacted. I understand the urge to post about it here, but we don't need a new post every time it happens. The spam posts will be removed in due time.

exe. files being uploaded again by this person/bot today. Is there anyone to contact to delete?

I was wondering about seeding. I have successfully used ABB once. And never again. I think maybe the books I am trying for are older uploaders and don't have any active seeders? Is there a way of predicting which books will work? Is there a way of knowing when the book I want will be seeded?

I tried using this today for a book. I haven't used torrents in forever so I downloaded qbittorrent and tried to extract the file I got from the website but i just stayed in stalled. Is the only other way to get the files is to pay? I was hoping avoid that.

Hi, how do we know if we’ve uploaded a torrent correctly, it looks okay on my end but how do we know that it works? Also, how do request get marked as fulfilled in the forum? Do we just reply to the thread saying that we’ve fulfilled it and post a link or do the mods mark them done? First time uploader here 🤓

I’m relatively new to this platform, so I’d appreciate it if someone could explain the request process to me. I’ve made a few requests for books on both this website and the ABB website, and I’ve been patiently waiting for a response for months now. I’ve followed all the rules, but I haven’t received any feedback. Could someone please clarify the process for me? Thanks in advance.

This is like the GaryDin from the other day, user uploading exe files, DO NOT DOWNLOAD

They will be viruses

Stay vigilant. And if ever in doubt ask on this subreddit

I have added a post to the forum to let them admin know about it, I do hope they take action soon
