Hello! I am new to these forums and wasn’t sure where to post this so please bare with me. Smiley
  I am interested in Terry Pratchett’s Discworld books narrated by Nigel Planer, but they are all compiled and I cannot download them separately. The whole series is over 10Gbs and thats too much for me. At the moment I am looking for The Last Continent narrated by Nigel Planer. Where and how can I request this?  Or can someone be so kind as to do it for me? Navigating the forum using my screenreader wasn’t so easy, i’m totally blind.
  Thank you for your time and I appreciate all the help and support!

You can download a part of a torrent.
When you load a torrent in your torrent app, e.g. uTorrent, every file in the torrent has a priority, default "normal".  High priority is gotten first.
You can set priority "don't download" then those files will not be downloaded.

So select all of them, (control-A) and mark them "don't download". Then select the book you want and make its priority "normal".


Also, there is a single book torrent for that book here:
https://audiobookbay.lu/audio-books/the-last-continent-discworld-book-22-discworld-rincewind-book-6-terry-pratchett/
but it isn't narrated by Nigel Planer.

Thank you so much for the tip! The problem is that i’m downloading the audiobook via a torrent save website, and not a software. So… i cannot do that.

As a one off i have uploaded your request as a single book,its around 200MB.

https://audiobookbay.lu/audio-books/the-last-continent-terry-pratchett/

enjoy

edit: Also this is the board https://audiobookbay.lu/forum/epic-fantasy/  for requests of Discworld books,but as stated above the full set is already posted.
The "torrent save website" you use must have an option to select what files you want from the larger collections.
If you have no luck finding the option post its name and i'll take a look.

Unless you're in a country where torrenting is illegal, there isn't any reason not to torrent.
"Torrent save" websites are parasitic, they don't help seeding for others.

If you really can't use torrent software, you would be better going to a site like Mobilism
https://forum.mobilism.org/viewforum.php?f=106
which has direct downloads.

  Thank you both so much! I sure will check out Mobilism.
  And thank you for the upload. I use Torrentsafe.com . I haven’t checked if it is possible to pick which files to download, I’ll do that. Thanks again!
