Update: My AudioBookBay magnet extension now has a Real Debrid version. Update: My AudioBookBay magnet extension now has a Real Debrid version.

A couple of weeks ago I posted my browser extension that grabs magnet links from AudioBookBay without needing an account or login. The response was ace, thanks to everyone who tried it and gave feedback.

I've now built a companion extension for Real-Debrid users. Same idea a banner pops up on any ABB torrent page, but instead of opening the magnet in a torrent client, it sends it directly to your Real Debrid account via their API. One click, no torrent client needed. RD downloads it on their servers and you grab the files from your account.

It also works on The Pirate Bay, 1337x, and basically any torrent site that shows an info hash on the page, and not just on audiobooks either.

Setup takes about 2 minutes — install the extension, paste your API key from real-debrid.com/apitoken, done (go into the options on the extension).

Chrome, Edge, and Firefox. Free and open source.

**Real-Debrid version (new):** https://github.com/ArrCee76/torrent-to-realdebrid

**Original magnet link version (still works great if you don't use RD):** https://github.com/ArrCee76/audiobookbay-magnet

Both are separate extensions so you can use whichever fits your setup. Cheers!

Any way to improve audio quality? Any way to improve audio quality?
SiteProblems

I'm not sure if it's because of the way im downloading files or what have you but most files that I download have very compressed or spotty audio and I'm not sure how to fix it. I'm copying the magnet URL on my phone, using a website called seedr to download it in an app called BookPlayer to play the downloaded audio. Some books, like Project Hail Mary this works perfectly but others makes the audio drowned out





How do I transfer books between my laptop and phone? How do I transfer books between my laptop and phone?

I am useing an app called smart audiobook on my phone and can listen to books I downloaded with that, but what is a good "library managment" program on my pc to save all my books on and easily transfer them back and forth? Thanks in advance, this is all new to me. I also have recently downloaded libation and would like to put those books in it as well but that is a secondary problem right now since they are safly backed up and I can listen with audible.

For iPhone - magnet url not working? For iPhone - magnet url not working?

Hi,

First time trying to torrent, and using my iPhone. I’ve been trying to follow previous users advice and have made accounts with both audiobookbay and seedr.cc

I’m having trouble copying the magnet link properly and every time I try to paste it into seedr it always says there’s no file detected at given url

I’m using the google app and can copy the ‘magnet’ link but the magnet icon next to it isn’t giving me an option to copy the url, only the image? Am I doing something wrong or missing something on how to copy the link over?

I also saw someone mention to use the info hash code and tried that, but it said the same thing that there was no file at the given url. I’ve tried it with 2 different audiobooks so far and neither have worked

Any help would be massively appreciated!

AudiobookBay suddenly stopped working on Airtel (India) ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT So Here’s what’s actually happening + Fix AudiobookBay suddenly stopped working on Airtel (India) ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT So Here’s what’s actually happening + Fix
SiteProblems

Hi everyone,

I was able to browse AudiobookBay normally earlier today on my Airtel Fiber connection, but a few hours later the site (and all its mirrors) suddenly stopped loading with:
This site can’t be reached

audiobookbay.lu took too long to respond.

Try:

Checking the connection

Checking the proxy and the firewall

Running Windows Network Diagnostics

ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUTThis site can’t be reached

audiobookbay.lu took too long to respond.

Try:

Checking the connection

Checking the proxy and the firewall

Running Windows Network Diagnostics

This is what happens when I try to go to it or any of the alternative sites for it. All other sites work.

Important details:

  • All other websites work fine

  • ABB works instantly when I turn ON a VPN

  • Without VPN → infinite loading / timeout

  • No “site blocked by DoT” message — just timeout

So I ran some checks:

🔍 DNS Test

nslookup audiobookbay.lu
nslookup audiobookbay.lu 1.1.1.1

Both returned the same IP:

176.97.124.219

So this is NOT a DNS block.

🔍 Ping Test

ping 176.97.124.219

Result:

Sent = 4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss)

🔍 Route Trace

tracert 176.97.124.219

Traffic reaches Voxility backbone (Vienna) and then:

Request timed out
General failure

So what’s happening is: Airtel is silently dropping packets to ABB’s hosting IP range (IP-level null routing)
That’s why:

  • DNS resolves

  • Site still times out

  • VPN works

FIX (Without using a slow full VPN)

Use Cloudflare WARP (free):

  1. Download: https://1.1.1.1/

  2. Install and turn ON until it says:WARP (not 1.1.1.1 DNS only)

  3. Close all browser tabs

  4. Reopen ABB in Incognito

This tunnels your traffic so Airtel can’t drop packets to the destination IP.

Posting in case others lost access today.




Is there a mobile torrent streaming client app (like Stremio) for AudioBookBay? Is there a mobile torrent streaming client app (like Stremio) for AudioBookBay?
General

Sorry if this is a duplicate post. I'm new here.
Is there a mobile app like Stremio that I can use to stream ABB audiobooks?
I know there is a Stremio addon for ABB, but playing audiobook in Stremio is inconvenient because there is no chapter support.
Or maybe is there any other way to stream ABB audiobooks on mobile?


Why does the audio quality goes down when I download it and how can I prevent it?? Why does the audio quality goes down when I download it and how can I prevent it??

Hey! So, I don’t understand why every time I download an audiobook the quality of it sounds bad. Is there a way where it doesn’t lower the audio quality?? I usually use the torrent download and download them on my iPad most of the times, I don’t know if somehow this affects the quality or something. Please someone let me know. Thank you!!!


Newly introduced to audibook bay, did not use VPN for initial downloads, a little nervous please be kind. Newly introduced to audibook bay, did not use VPN for initial downloads, a little nervous please be kind.

I downloaded like 15 books after I learned of the site just googling, I've been a casual torrenter since Napster the early 2000s. I don't typically torrent a lot and I know about using a VPN I just never did it.

Then I was browsing around about basically torrenting audiobooks being especially risky and I'm slightly nervous.

I once got a letter for torrenting in 2013 and it was because I'd downloaded a very brand new movie but nothing ever happened.

I'm going to set up a VPN before downloading any more, should I be nervous?

I used uTorrent on my cell phone, which apparently also isn't the best but I've used it forever with no issues.

Again, please be kind I don't need to be any more worked up about something I already did and can't undo.

I made a free browser extension for AudioBookBay's magnet links. Works for non members or those not logged in. I made a free browser extension for AudioBookBay's magnet links. Works for non members or those not logged in.

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 two buttons, Get Magnet and Cancel. Click Get Magnet 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 and building a clean magnet link itself.

Download and full install guide here: 👉 https://github.com/ArrCee76/audiobookbay-magnet

Install takes about 2 minutes, no technical knowledge needed full step-by-step instructions are in the README on github.

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

Audiobookbay Support Audiobookbay Support
General

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.

Anyone notice a bunch of books have seemingly been removed? Anyone notice a bunch of books have seemingly been removed?

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.

Stuck on login loop/ Login keeps failing Stuck on login loop/ Login keeps failing

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?


New Here & Need Some Guidance on Using AudiobookBay Safely New Here & Need Some Guidance on Using AudiobookBay Safely
General

Hi everyone!

I’m brand new to AudiobookBay and just discovered this site. I’ve mostly been using a service like Torbox for my downloading needs so far, and I’m really new to the whole torrenting thing. Honestly, I’m a bit nervous about downloading torrent files directly and I just want to make sure I do it safely.

So I’m wondering: if I don’t have a torrent client installed on my browser or PC, can I just use something like Torbox instead of doing the torrenting directly myself? Also, I noticed that when I try to copy the magnet link, it doesn’t actually copy anything for me. Am I missing something?

Any tips on the safest way to go about this would be super appreciated! Thanks in advance!

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.

Audiobook beginner help! File corrupted or bad audiobook player Audiobook beginner help! File corrupted or bad audiobook player
General

I am new to this file format and site, so bear with me. I use qbittorrent, and audibly to open the audiobook. but it claims to be corrupted and won't run it.

What should i do, am i missing something, and is audibly or that specific audiobook not any good?

The book is Wild Love by Elsie Silver.

Uploading it to my media server made it listenable. Probably DRM shit.

It played through jellyfin, so we are good

How can I be safer doing this? (With info of what I plan to do) How can I be safer doing this? (With info of what I plan to do)
General

Hi all! Was introduced to the wonders of audiobookbay but am bit apprehensive bc of the fear of viruses

Here’s my plan for downloading books

  1. NordVPN

  2. copy the magnet link to Seedr.cc

  3. download file and open it in bookplay

I’ve tried it once and it worked (I’m on iPhone btw) so I’m really excited, but just want to know if there’s anything I can do to be safer from viruses/malware!

Thank you :)

SiteProblems

You are likely experiencing an IP ban as I reported here.

I found out that the IP ban I experienced was a 72 hour ban. My IP address can now access the site. Their server firewall or whatever is overzealous in how it determines if an IP needs banned or not then bans it for 72 hours. I suspect X amount of 72 hour bans in Y months will result in a longer ban for that IP address, possibly permanent.

Point is, if you can't access the site and others are telling you they can, then use Tor browser or a VPN. If you are already using a VPN, change the IP address you're using until you find on that works. During that whole 72 hour ban, I never had an issue accessing the site with Tor browser.

ABB blocked my IP address ABB blocked my IP address
SiteProblems

EDIT: It was a 72 hour ban. My IP address can now access the site and my access was restored at around the 72 hour mark. Their server firewall or whatever is overzealous at how it determines if an IP needs banned or not then bans it for 72 hours. I suspect X amount of 72 hour bans in Y months will result in a longer ban, possibly permanent.


Sites (.lu and others) have been down for me since last night. Various websites that check if a site is down say the site is up and running.

So this morning I thought to check the site through Tor browser and I can access it that way.

So it looks like my ip address is blocked by the site. Unfortunately I can't get a new IP address from my ISP and have had the same one since I signed on with this ISP (11 months ago).

Anyone else experience an IP block from ABB before?


Help with .m4b (Protected) Audiobook File what do I do? Help with .m4b (Protected) Audiobook File what do I do?

Hey everyone,
I downloaded an audiobook called The Missing Half - Ashley Flowers, but the file type says:
MPEG-4 Audio File (Protected) (.m4b)

It won’t play on any of my apps.
I’m guessing it’s DRM-protected, but I’m not sure what that means or what I need to do to make it playable.

Has anyone dealt with this before?
What steps did you take to fix or convert it so it works normally?

Audiobookbay on iPhone 16 pro from Mac Audiobookbay on iPhone 16 pro from Mac
General

I used to download audiobooks from Audiobookbay and sync them to my devices using iTunes on my old Mac. Now that iTunes is gone and I've upgraded to an iPhone 16 Pro Max, I'm stuck.

What's the current, simplest method to get audiobooks from Audiobookbay onto an iPhone? Is there a specific app you recommend for downloading and playing the files directly on the phone?

Thanks for any help!

Opus files are often larger than m4b, mp3 or others? Opus files are often larger than m4b, mp3 or others?
General

I started an audiobook collection about 4 months ago and I read opus format was a space saver especially for audiobooks since they don't need lossless quality. So I've been converting all my files to opus from mp3, m4b, etc using convopus and more recently I discovered ffmpeg can do it too.

I've noticed though that more often than not the opus file ends up bigger than the original and I'm not sure why based one everything I read online about it saving space. What am I doing wrong?

I appreciate any advice that you have to share.

Thanks

Hi all, I haven't logged in for a while, and today as I tried to login, I received a message that my login is invalid. I tried to request a password reset, and got a message that my username is invalid. I tried to register again and received a message that my username is already in use. WTF?!?!?! Should I try to recover my account or just register with a different username? How does this even make sense?
