Unfortunately Audible seems to be applying a new DRM lock to prevent downloads of the Dolby Atmos version so unless this is cracked some day, there won’t be any more downloading of those. Well, determined people can always go back to the analog method: reencoding the audio output. Not as fast or as perfect as pure digital decryption, but with the ridiculous bitrate they use, it would be pretty good. Personally, I don't listen to audiobooks for the effects. Most books I set the equalizer to mono ... But to each his own. |

It could be done with a Mac I think. Am a PC user myself, but the only web browser that Audible allows to stream Atmos is Safari on a Mac  Everything else is either a phone or a tablet/Kindle Zero support for Windows |

But any streaming format can be captured. I expect someone will have worked out a way within a month or two. On the bright side, we don't seem be getting a HP DDOS this time. |

I am currently uploading the UK versions of the first five full-cast Potter books in full Dolby Atmos. They were sent to me by iTzNiKo, but I have no idea how they were downloaded in the first place. He has said that if he is able to, he will send me the two forthcoming books as well. Harry Potter UK Atmos torrents |

Are they actually different, aside from titles and covers? I know the UK book editions and Jim Dale narrations had a few changes to Americanise the language, but thought these dramatised ones were strictly original UK text. https://screenrant.com/harry-potter-british-american-book-differences/ |

They are the same with one exception. The Philosopher’s Stone is mentioned in books 1, 2, 4 & 5 and might get mentioned again in books 6 & 7, I haven't read these yet so not sure.
The US versions all call it the Sorcerer's Stone in all the books. Only book three (so far) is exactly the same.

I thought there were other minor dialect changes. Cookies/biscuits, candy/sweets, etc. :/

That's true for the Jim Dale & Stephen Fry books, but the makers of the full-cast versions realised that that was too much of an arse-ache (I'm paraphrasing here) so they went with just rerecording lines which reference the Philosopher's Stone.
I got this info from a behind the scenes video on EweChoob

Has there been any news on whether iTzNiKo is going to be able to share Half-Blood Prince in Dolby Atmos? I'm so grateful they were able to share the first five audiobooks (and to prettyrandom for sharing them along with their headphone surround versions). It would be amazing if they can deliver on the last two books...

Alas, have heard nothing for over a week. If that changes I'll upload the full Atmos version straight away, but as time goes on, I fear it's less likely.
It seems TheLastAirbender might be our only hope. They uploaded 6 channel mix-downs recorded from Atmos of books 3 to 5 but not, as yet for book 6.

The final book is now up. Ants261 has uploaded it in stereo, here. iTzNiKo again sent me the Dolby Atmos mix, which is here. I will upload my binaural surround mix tomorrow. |

It's not good form to spam multiple forum threads.
I'm not getting loads of complaints in the comments, so I suspect your ISP is intervening.
Try using Tor, Onion Browser or an extension like Browsec to change your location & try downloading the torrent again.
If it does or doesn't work, you can post here again & I'll try to help more. You can probably delete the other duplicate posts though...

Not only did they spam the boards they've PM'd me twice with their demand. This isn't the thread for her request/complaint/whatever, either. Hopefully one of the higher ups can split this off and merge it with the others.  It's a bit worse than "not good form". |

They obfuscate the links over time because of stuff like this. They're all still available. Use the Harry Potter hot search on the left of the home page.

Hopefully one of the higher ups can split this off and merge it with the others. It's a bit worse than "not good form". I had just noticed this. Romiza posted the same post in SEVEN forums over about a half hour. I have deleted them all except the one in this thread. And blocked them from posting for 2 weeks. It was a brand new account, created today. I also get this message “This content has been blocked at the request of the rights holder.” Looks like an ISP block. Try changing your DNS, if that doesn't work use a VPN. Much safer if your government is doing this. |
