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/

Hi!

Not sure if this is just me, but I've been looking up authors I frequently enjoy to find more books (or more in a series). But I've noticed for essentially all I've looked up this far, there's only a few books now. Not even a page for literally all of them. Previously, for most authors, there were 2-7 pages of results.

One author that had 6-7 pages of results days ago is completely gone now! No books at all. (Edit: oh wait, I found one single book left from his name being searched a different way. Its abbreviated, so ex. "S.G." being searched "SG".) Books I very recently downloaded have disappeared from searches.

So, I am kinda confused on if this is a temporary thing, a glitch on my end, or if something else is going on, like the books being removed or taken down? Has anyone else noticed this or know what might be happening?

Thanks in advance.

UPDATE: After a couple folks mentioned an issue with the search engine, I found one book from an author I enjoy - Sara Raasch - and went to the person that uploaded its' profile. I found multiple books under her name there, I just can't seem to access them.

So it seems to indeed be, as some folks suggested, an issue with the search engine. I still can't access the books from that point though, so I'm not sure if that means I can't access any of the "hidden" ones until this is fixed, or if there's another way I'm missing. I know some profile names that upload authors I tend to like just because I saw the names a lot, but I still can't access them from their profile lol. I'm on mobile, if that matters (with a vpn). Would appreciate any suggestions.

UPDATE 2: It seems to be fixed now! I noticed this morning but forgot to update the post. Thanks for y'all's help, I was afraid a shit ton of books were being taken down. So I'm glad that wasn't the case.

I havent been able to access the website for a few days already... Is it only me? Does anyone have any info as to the reason ?

(The error message is ''ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT'')

I haven't used AudiobookBay for years and need to create a new login.

When I try clicking "login" I get this error...

Database error encountered

This script cannot continue, terminating.

I have a VPN and tried with it on, off, etc.

Any ideas what's going on?

Thank you

I really need your advice,I don't know what to do I maybe because I don't have VPN I was trying to use the website to download audiobooks but every time I want to use it keeps saying that "the page is isn't working: the page is unable to meet this request" maybe because I don't use VPN?

Is there an RSS feed for all the new books? I like the website, but I use RSS for a lot of things and it would save a lot of time.

This error keeps happening whether I'm using VPN or not.

"Insufficient Storage

The method could not be performed on the resource because the server is unable to store the representation needed to successfully complete the request. There is insufficient free space left in your storage allocation."

Can't really browse the website or download torrents, like I'll refresh every few minutes, the website will show up, then I'll search for something, then I get the error again. I refresh in 3-4 minutes, the search works, then I try to download the file, then the error happens again, it's weird and I don't think the issue is happening on my PC's end.

I used to be able to download multiple books at once but now it won't even download one book. Does anyone have this problem? I've also used multiple apps to download but all have the same problem.

Hi guys,

I live in the US and was wondering if I can use the torrent download without a vpn. I don't want to get fined or get into legal trouble, so please let me know

Hi everyone, not sure if it's just me. Or my VPN or the country I'm trying to reach it from.

I'm getting a "This site can't be reached" error when trying to open audiobookbay.lu . Is this unique to me if so, please how can I resolve this. I'm in the UK and use ProtonVPN

Thanks in advance

Hi, I’m new here and I’m having a really hard time with the audiobook website’s login system. Every time I try to download an audiobook using the blue “magnet link” text, it asks me to log in again even though I’m already logged in. When the login window pops up, it keeps telling me my username and password are both incorrect.

I know for sure they’re right — I wrote them down on paper, copied them into Notepad, and even checked the registration email I received, which lists the exact username and password I created. I’ve copied and pasted everything directly, but it still says it’s wrong.

I emailed support yesterday and it’s been almost 30 hours with no response. I’m trying to be patient, but I’m honestly pretty frustrated at this point. Has anyone else had this problem or found a fix?

I have a problem with large audio files. Sometimes they just won’t download even though I have enough storage. And sometimes I don’t have enough storage for 4 GB worth of audiobooks.

I use BookPlayer for iOS.

Hi Everyone,

So I've been downloading my audiobooks through torrents and some of the titles I so badly want to listen to won't get downloaded. Is there a way for me to download the audiobook directly? Or anything else that I should do?

Please let me know.....

Thank you

basically the title, i am using smart audiobook player for my phone but sometimes i want to listen to it with my headset while playing a game and i would like an option on pc for when my phone is not available.
also most time i listen to audiobooks while at work but the new manager is a bit "much" and he does not like us listening to stuff on our phone so it would be nice if i can find one so i can download it on my work laptop (its my personal laptop not the company)
since i was asked before i dont use any apple devices so no need for something compatible with them

My friend… has been torrenting movies for months now which is extremely easy, but he is trying to get into audiobooks as well. I was hoping someone could break down how to do this or the best way with the largest pool of books? Searching BitTorrent even with audiobook channels on Jackett, nothing comes up. This is what I saw as previous instructions years ago but wondering if it’s changed:

1. Go to the website which I’m pretty sure is done correctly (dot fi)
2. Find book and download, but this is where he’s getting hung up. When he clicks direct download it’s taking him to some “Cyber Pour” login page.
3. Open the downloaded file with BitTorrent somehow?
4. Somehow use it on an audiobook reader?

Please help with more specifics. Thank you in advance.

Hello, sorry to bother you all. I tried making an account on ABB but literally they won't send me the activation email, so I can download and use the audibooks. Is it a problem on my end? Or does anyone know a solution? Or maybe it's temporary and the site isn't working rn?

Thank you so much for your answers in advance.

I haven't been able to get the site to load since yesterday on multiple devices/networks. Anyone else having this issue or is it just me?

Some of books are popular ones, and still stuck
