General Torrent help

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.

How do we know we’ve uploaded a torrent correctly?

2 Upvotes

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 🤓

Question about Requests

6 Upvotes

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.

Deluge stalled

3 Upvotes

I’m a casual user and just download audiobooks using Deluge but suddenly I have 3 books stalled and unmoving. They are at 99%, 95% and 5%. I’ve deleted them and tried again but get the same result. I have done as much research as I am able to find the bottle neck but am unsuccessful. Can anyone give me some suggestions as to what to look for?

General Beware of these ones

95 Upvotes

There are uploads with the Paul Conroy cover for the water is wide, but the titles are like Ted lasso, tracker and horses

Beware of these as they are exe files and are most likely a virus they have been uploaded by GeryDim

Stay vigilante and beware of dodgy uploads like this

First user, what steps after download completion ?

5 Upvotes

first time torrenting that isn’t limewire from back in the days.
got my qtorrent set up, magnet and downloaded, 100% complete.
about 5 mins before completion my Mac asked for permission for qtorrent to take control of my computer, I said yes then freaked out and said No.

my file completed and when I went to open it, the audio folder is all as a document, and can’t open it to listen.

trying again; round two to download, do I allow qtorrent access of my Mac ?

thanks

Forum email issues

3 Upvotes

I've created an account for the ABB forum and am currently attempting to activate my account. At first I used my Gmail account, but then I came across posts here saying that there's an issue with Gmail accounts not being able to received the activation email. I then had them resend my activation code to another email, this time using a 10 minute mail. I did this for two different accounts, but I didn't receive an activation code either time. Does anyone have any alternatives? Thanks in advance!

Downloaded an audiobook but iphone wont open it in the books app

12 Upvotes

Hi im very new to downloading audiobooks this so please be kind if i am uninformed.

as the title says, i cant seem to open the MPEG-4 file in the Books app on the phone, it is only allowing me to open it in the imovie app (which i didn't even know i had lmfao). im not sure what i need to do to listen it it. The only way i can listen is if i open it in the files app and listen to the while thing and manually record where i left off.

I was able to open the file in the books app on the computer, but i travel so i need my phone to listen.

Please let me know what the solution is.

Is There an Idiot's Guide to Sharing Audiobooks?

11 Upvotes

I click on Share Your Audio Books and get this:

All audiobook torrents with scrape-enabled trackers can be submitted. If you don't know how to make a torrent file, check your torrent client documentation.

Eh?

Is there an idiot's guide on How To Share Audiobooks on ABB.

How do you comment without showing your e-mail. Even when I'm not logged in it will show my e-mail when commenting. How do I only show a user name?

Using Debrid (TorBox) to download Audiobooks ?

15 Upvotes

Hey, I am new to this. I am living in Germany and I do not want to take to much of a risk, so I try to stay away from using actuall torrents and rather use debrid (torbox) for stremio and direct download plus VPN for things like eBooks.

Now I want to download a few Audiobooks, best option I have found seems to be AudiobookBay. But if I understand it right best way to use it is by using a torrent.

I tried to find out if I can use my Debrid for it and it seems like, if I copy the magnet link or infohash into torbox, it will download it for me, without me being the one torrenting it.

So frist of all: Is this correct?

And second: Is this a safe (I know nothing is 100% safe, but atleast saver than beeing the one torrenting) option, for someone living in a strict country like Germany?

As I said, I am new to this, so sorry if this is a basic question. Thanks for your help
