A lot of people recommend AudiobookBay but FreeMediaHeckYeah warns to only use their torrents. Are there any known safe sources that provide direct downloads of audiobooks? Preferably something I don’t have to sign up for.

And no, unfortunately I do not have access to a library at this time.

    Yeah. Private trackers are always a bit weird with their invasive signup stuff. Not gonna defend them on that front. I guess they’re trying to ensure that you haven’t been banned previously. It’s daft but it’s they’re in charge I guess.

    I will say though other private trackers seem to have a weird kiss-the-ring and beg forgiveness king of reverence for mods in their forums, but that doesn’t seem to be a thing at MAM thank fuck. It’s kinda sickening the weird god-status mods have in some trackers.

    Maintaining a ratio at MAM is a whole different game to trackers that host movies and TV. You can’t ratio-farm with the same methods. The trick is to just continue seeding things indefinitely. Even if you’re not uploading and earning any ratio you still get bonus points and can convert them to upload credit.

    It’s true that if you only download things occasionally there’s better alternatives - but that’s ever the case with private trackers of any kind.
