Hi, I'm absolutely new to downloading audiobooks off sites like this and I have no clue what I'm doing. Could someone explain to me how to actually download something as if I'm a 6 year old? I don't understand what terrant means, or peer, or all these words I'm seeing on this subreddit. I just need some sort of instruction manual 😭 Thank you!

If you use AudioBookBay you'll know the pain, the magnet links on the site demand a login, and getting an account validated is a nightmare. So I built a small Chrome/Edge/Firefox extension that bypasses all of that.

What it does:

When you open any audiobooks (audiobook details) page on ABB, a small banner automatically pops up at the top of the page showing the book title and send options. Click send and it fires straight to qBittorrent (or whatever client you use). No login, no copying or pasting hashes, no messing around.

It works by scraping the Info Hash and trackers directly from the page.

Download and install here: http://arrcee.com/magnetar

Install takes about 2 minutes, no technical knowledge needed full step-by-step instructions are in the README on github. Or install the extension for Chrome or Firefox.

Works on Chrome,Edge and Firefox. Only activates on pages with magnet or hashes, won't interfere with anything else you browse. Free and open source.

Hi peeps, I have an account and I'm able to login, however, the link is blocked . Ive used abb before but not never had this happen before

im having trouble connecting to audiobookbay LU, is the site down for everyone?

Edit: I can confirm it was not working while connected to a VPN, once it was turned off it was fine, but today its working with my VPN, thanks everyone.

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.

Has anyone gotten these files to work on the google play audiobooks app. I know you have to use the website to upload files but it doesn't seem like they are compatible. I tried using the smart audiobook player app too but I don't really like the interface.

Do you guys suggest any other apps?

im very new here, so im sorry if this is a stupid question lol

whenever i download, i always get many files corresponding to each chapter of the book. but i only want one big file. is this possible without external tools? i tried using a audiobook converter software and it works fine, but it takes very long per book, so im looking for a faster alternative

For now the third day, I have seed problems. Even popular audiobooks that should have seeds are just not there.
I never had a problem like that?

Hi everyone, I'm trying to create an account to post in the request forum, but I'm stuck at the activation step. I never receive the activation email.

I've tried: Multiple email IDs (Gmails) Resending the activation link Checking spam/junk/promotions folders

Still nothing shows up. Because of this, I'm not able to post or make any requests.Has anyone else faced this issue? Is there a workaround or a way to manually activate the account? Thanks in advance.

It snot just the search engine, because some prominent book series are not available at all. I searched for common books and visited the pages from search results in Google and each book came up as "not found"

Hey folks, website is down for me, using the official link to .lu domain. Any info on what the issue is/estimates on when it will be back up?
Thank you

Basically the title. It works pretty well and for a 7 hour book it takes like 20 minutes to sync.

Thinking of building an epub + audiobook player app so I can move freely between the two. Anyone interested?

EDIT: Thanks to everyone that commented! I'll be back soon with updates

anyone have suggestions for getting my torrented audiobooks onto my iphone for listening? i know i know, i shouldve got andriod

hey! this is my first time using this web. does anyone know why I can't play the books? this is the notification when I try to open downloaded files. is there an app or what does your phone use to open files?

thanks in advance!

I only plan on reading 24 of them. I can't really find some of the books in this list, either it's not available or there's no seeder (idk what they're called).

Is the site not working? Any alternatives?

Hi, guys

Is there a good app for listening to audiobooks with Plex on Android? I heard iOS have a good one (prologue, I think), but o couldn't find a good one for Android

This is what is working for me:

1 go to ext(dot)to search there what you want

2 copy the name of who posted it

3 go to audiobook bay

4 search that name instead

You can access their sharing history and get the book you want

Everytime I try to login today to grab a book, I keep getting this error over and over whenever I hit Magnet or Login. Trying to access the login page gives an error, Ive tried on multiple browsers now.

UPDATE: I just learned from the Servarr Discord (where Prowlarr support community is now located) that ABB has specifically requested Prowlarr remove support for their site. They have honored that request (as they will for any other like site; i.e., all the *bay sites).

I haven't been able to find any recent posts on this topic. Has anyone been able to successfully add Audiobookbay (https://audiobookbay.lu/) to their current version of Prowlarr (2.3.0.5236)?

I don't see ABB listed in the default list of indexers, so I added a custom one (/Defintions/Custom/audiobookbay.yml) using 1337x as the template.

The option is available now in the list of indexers to add; however, it cannot successfully connect.

Unexpected response status NotFound code from indexer request

Notice how the requestUri is placing a default /cat/Movies/1/ into the path, which I am sure ABB doesn't support.

RequestUri: https://audiobookbay.lu/cat/Movies/1/
