The torrent section of the site : https://audiobookbay.lu/
has an annoying habit of forgetting you are logged in quickly. If this happens while you are preparing to upload your torrent, when you submit it can go out under the "Guest" name.

The torrent will still work (if it was valid), as long as you seed it.
But you can't modify the description or delete it as you can for your own ones.

The best way to handle this is log back in and upload the same torrent file again, quickly.
Easiest way is to have all the info needed in a text file and just copy/paste it in. You can open the "Guest" version in another tab if that was done in full.
Submit it as soon as you have the minimum info and you can edit it later.
(See https://audiobookbay.lu/forum/faqs/describing-your-abb-torrent/ for all the niggling details.)

Then make a post replying to this advising us of links to your Guest and Named torrents and we will delete the Guest dupe.
The post may be deleted once handled.


  • If you notice a Guest upload that is either a dupe or has not been seeded for 24 hours, please advise here and it will be deleted.
  • "Deleted" torrents may remain on the website for a while, as the database is not updated continuously.
    You can make a "ghost" page disappear by trying to add a comment to it. That will force an update to the page and it will find it's been deleted.
  • If after deleting a torrent page, you open it again and try to add a comment, that will force the page to be updated and thus removed immediately.

Deleted.
And I already deleted the same garbage torrent a few days ago.
Hope this idiot works out what he is doing wrong.
