There may be more but the one I ran into is about 2 hours 20 minutes in, chapter 4, there's like 8 pages worth of audio missing. I could plausibly buy and replace it if no one else can but it's a bit of an expensive book so I'm hoping it can be re-uploaded without missing audio

Will ask him to check and replace if possible.

If the problem was the source file, it probably has been fixed since then.

do you mean fixed since it was uploaded? i re-downloaded last night before posting and it was definitely still missing audio, or do you mean it got fixed today?

edit: i just purchased the book, figured i may as well since I really like the author's works, how would I go about providing the complete file to replace the broken one?

I meant, the publisher fixed their file..

You cannot change the files in a torrent.

Please wait on Goomer's response; if he can't replace it you can go ahead.

This is over two years old so no urgency.

Goomer has deleted the bad torrent, but can't replace it.

Do you have an AAX file?
Do you know how to decrypt your file, to make an M4B?

One method is using InAudible:

Sorry for taking a while to respond, I'm not home and accessing my computer via stream is a bit messy, I purchased the book from a site that doesn't have DRM, they just had an M4B as the download to begin with. I can set up a torrent and upload as soon as I'm home, probably on saturday, I hope that's fine!

No hurry.
Take the time to get it right.

If you can, check the metadata of the m4b, see if it has chapters, a cover image, etc.
You can see that using most players or MediaInfo.
Other tools can edit that info.

I checked and at the very least AudioBookShelf caught all the metadata, I went ahead and uploaded it, it wasn't my first upload but it's been a long time so I'm not 100% sure I got it all the way right, hope I did!
