I really like Audiobookbay for discovering new books, but if I’m searching for something specific it is a bit annoying to navigate with their sometimes broken search and the vague categorization. Seeding is also sometimes sparse, especially with older uploads…
Does anyone know good alternatives? There doesn’t seem to be an audiobook category in the megathread (yet) ;)
If it’s like when I did it, you go into their IRC and get a basic interview. There might be a learning curve for setting up your torrent client, but the short of it is you want to respect their seeding rules else you might get kicked off. Their forums should have a guide for most major torrent clients as well.
Ah, I forgot about that. Mine is dynamic as well but as I use Docker the VPN container let me easily add a script that would call their API and update that, IIRC.
Oh, are they very strict with their seeding? I do try to seed as much as I can, but I only use a single laptop (so no pc or seedbox or anything like that), and it can stay off for weeks if I’m too busy to use it…
Not that strict, basically you have to seed for 3 days (seeding counts after the download finishes) within 30 days of downloading it. You can see your “unsatisfied” torrents on their site. So given your restrictions you should be fine.

i recently got in and it took me a bit to setup the dynamic ip thing to let me download from a vpn but it worked eventually
