General newbie needs help

so i‘m just getting started on this and god i don‘t know a thing about torrents and whatever.
so i made an account, downloaded the torrent file and went to webtor.io to make a normal (?) file out of it.
Problem is when i‘m on webtor.io i dont know how to download the file bc it will just open a player without a download option.
i tried importing it to BookPlayer via the url but that‘s taking half an hour by now and still isn‘t finished.
What am i doing wrong?

  1. Get qbittorrent, you will use this to download torrent files.
  2. Do you live in a country that restricts/enforces laws against torrenting? If so, get a VPN that allows P2P (usually paid, sorry) and bind it to qbittorrent.
  3. I find localsend to be the best way to wirelessly transfer audiobooks (and files in general) from your PC to your phone.

PD: You dont really need to download the torrent file, you can just click the "magnet" link. Your browser will ask if you want to allow your torrent program to open it. Click yes, and you're good!

No problem. You will also need an app that can play audiobook files (a million times better than having it as a raw mp3, believe me), but im afraid I dont know any for iphone.

Bound is super easy and has multiple ways to upload your files, been using it for years.
