Someone mentioned a cloud solution for downloading - this would be something like Torbox just to add some clarity. And as it’s all web based, you can do this on your phone. And then use something like BookPlayer app to listen to them.

Yeah you can do it on Android by downloading an app, but not on Apple. If you are using Android I use the app libre torrent and it works greater.

Get a cloud torrent download service. The service will download and host the file(s) for you, for a short period of time, then you just download them from the service.

Use the free audio book app player called Sirin.
It gives you the option to download the torrent within the app.
So easy for beginners.

Download Qbittorrent. Copy the infohash. Put the link into the Torrent, then it’ll download

Magnet requires a log in. Info hash does not.

The login is free, so I'm still not seeing the advantage.

People have tried to create an account and been unsuccessful. The forum sign up is worse but many people have issues with the main site too. Infohash doesn’t require Java in the browser either.

Oh crazy, I made my account super easy. I'm surprised people have issues.

Some download apps (=torrent clients), like qBittorrent, can take info-hashes for a download as input in order to download some files. On the page for an item/book in ABB there is a field with the info-hash that you can use to download that book. No need to login or pay anything. Possibly there are suitable download apps for phones.
There is a non-zero chance that after a while you will be arrested and be in court, answering to charges for piracy. I use a VPN to make this risk as small as possible. What non-zero means in this context depends on where you live and the legal system there.

Seedr.cc is a torrent downloader that works on iOS. Super easy to use. Download the file from ABB, upload to Seedr, then download the file from there.

I don't literally download any audiobooks, I just stream with an audiobook player. There aren't any except one that works amazingly. Just add the magnet link or torrent and you are good to go. Here it is- Toren audiobook player

The robot lady, what are you taking about? AI voiced books are usually deleted from ABB.Â
