I’ve been seeding the torrents that I download since the old days of Limewire, but I’ve always download and re-shared by seeding.
But a few months ago I couldn’t find a set of audiobooks I’d been looking for with the original narrators from the 90s.
I finally found a set on CD on eBay and coverted those to mp3 and loaded them on my phone, but it occurred to me that others might also be looking for a complete version of the series too and wanted to share that media.
Apologies if it’s an obvious answer that I somehow missed.

Depends on your client (say qbittorrent), your tracker (say 1337x) and their rules (say only tv and movie but no audio).
Just as a heads up: Most prefer FLAC or WAV since that’s the best possible quality. MP3 can be converted from them.
Well received are logs how close it copied the data from the source or if it has read errors (bitflips etc.).
EAC (ExactAudioCopy) for example does it. There are others but tutorials can be searched rather easy. Make sure to adhere to the more audiophile forums for advice but don’t believe every esoteric opinion from them.
Also private trackers usually have guides or tutorials in their wiki, faq or forums. Make sure to pay a visit.The common standard for audiobooks isn’t FLAC or WAV, it’s chapter track MP3 or chapterized M4B. The vast majority of audiobooks are encoded at 64 or 128 kbps. I wish the minimum was 128kbps but that’s where the audiobooks community has been for like a decade now.
I’ve been doing my research and I feel that opus should be the way to go? Can have chapters and compression is the best there is. I read that m4b keeps track of where you left… but I feel that that should not be the task of an audio file?
Nvmd. thought it’s about music cds and not audiobooks.
But for music cds it’s correct, right?
Out of interest, what’s the series? (Didnt answer the question as the post an hour ago covers it nicely)
