Awesome, Thanks!
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.
Nvmd. thought it's about music cds and not audiobooks.
But for music cds it's correct, right?
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?
Out of interest, what's the series? (Didnt answer the question as the post an hour ago covers it nicely)
It's the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett with original narrators (Stephen Briggs and Nigel Planer).
Audible has been replacing them with new narrators, and they switch narrators several times every few chapters in each book.
There's still some of the originals around on audible but they're slowly replacing them one at a time. It was difficult to find a complete collection and all in good quality from torrent sites before.
I've ripped them directly from the CDs so it's (mostly) great quality with the exception of a few that were converted from older tapes. And all the extras like the science of discworld books and a collection of short stories by Pratchett too.
Holy shit I would love that! Please send me a link if you get it going
I sent a DM with the info hash, I'm not sure if I'm allowed to just post it here
Amazing! You're a legend.
Can i also get the hash pleaser? Sounds like a gem
I would love the hash as well
Could I also have the hash please?
Wait was the whole series available on audiobook? This is a great project
It is the whole complete series on audiobook with the original British narrators, I've successfully created the torrent and now I'm just waiting to hear back from TG for permission to upload.
Can you send me the link as well? Thanks!
I sent a DM with the info hash, I’m not sure if I’m allowed to just post it here
Nice can you send me the link when you make the torrent?
Sure thing, it'll be a few hours yet though when I get home from work.

Me too, please!
Ooh, nice! Could you send me the info hash?
Nice, sure that will be popular :)
I would love to get this too
It's a wonderful little exercise. Try creating the torrent then downloading it with your phone with LibreTorrent.
