Thanks for the follow @audiobookabb@mastodon.social

Is the site, in any of its various national designations, working now?

Or does it still redirect all magnet or torrent downloads to

httpS:audiobookbay.LU & then freeze/time out?

😔😵‍💫

no offense intended, so please ignore this if you're already familiar

workaround:

copy the hash from the description page,

manually add magnet prefix (per this description )

then paste into torrent client

it may start dl-ing very slowly, so wait as long as you can tolerate.

~~if that doesn't work,~~ while simultaneously doing above, try searching the hash in other torrent trackers that have audiobooks.

in other torrent trackers that have audiobooks.

Can you name a few, please?

you'll find many trackers for audio books in the c/piracy megathread on multiple lemmy instances

Absolutely no offense taken. Delighted someone wants to help 😊

The hash? That’s not the magnet li k nor the torrent but a third link I’ve never needed the use of before then?

Am I the only one experiencing this problem then?

Most strange I’ve been on the site seeding & downloading files in bulk with nary a problem till this last couple of weeks & o haven’t moved wifi in months. Weird, no?
