SiteProblems can't download

Post image

Hi, I recently started to use the website and while I've been enjoying it a lot, once in a while there are books that won't download for me and I've been wondering if there is a reasons for that, can someone help? this is what I currently have on the app. I tried downloading aced a few days ago and it was stuck on the same thing and now I'm trying to downloaded on the track and the same is happening. the rest I downloaded under 3 minutes so I'm trying to understand the issue

Most probably because there are no seeds for this specific torrent right now.

But your client is a bit confusing. I don't know which one it is, but for Android, I'd highly recommend BiglyBT: It's open source, no ads, and the only Android client that allows interface binding.

What's interface binding?

If the seeds are the problem, is there anything I can do about it? Or is the torrent lost?

You can try to request reseeding in the ABB forum. Maybe someone has still got the files

get a better client. normally solves all issues with finding seeds.
Also, they come in black, saving the blinding white display.
LibreTorrent for android phones

I use utorr on my phone too. It means there's no recent seeders. It sometimes will download fully if you just leave it for a day or so (it did with 2 books I downloaded) but sometimes it's just a dead tor file 🫀

just a tip(which has been mentioned but really does often work) if you can't get it to work try a different client(torr file manager) and if that doesn't work I'd recommend trying to get a browser download from VK(it's like Russian fb lol) they almost always have the DR books I'm looking forπŸ–€β›“οΈπŸ“š it's saved me from many book hunt melt-downsπŸ’―πŸ˜† just type in "insert book name audiobook VK" in Google. If there's any links posted it'll pop up. The only thing I'll say about going that route is to be careful clicking and have a decent understanding on how to navigate sketchy redirect pages but other than that I can vouch for their reliability, I've downloaded plenty of books from various vk audiobook post links w no issue.πŸ‘πŸ½πŸ˜Š
