Thank you saaaar.

Only two parts of book one? There is a huge gap in story between 1 and 2. There must be one ore more parts missing. I'm listening to another copy right now so I'm able to compare.

@owen_L
you are right, there is a chunk of about 50 min missing from first book, don't know which parts are missing though. also haven't checked the rest

was so much looking forward to this, specially in m4b format.
Not downloading it though after previous comments about missing parts :(((

Not sure what those guys are talking about, I've just finished the first book and there's nothing missing. It begins and ends just as the TV show did. Quality isn't great because it's encoded from cassette tapes, but it's still worth it because of the audiobook format... I don't think anyone wants these books divided into 2000 mp3s!

@ximongray
You're a fucking moron. Of COURSE we want them divided! Why would ANYBODY want one gigantic, several day long MP3 per book?! Chaptered MP3s are the best way to put books on here...this shit is just frustrating.

@DctrEvil

All you need to do is to write down how long you have listened,is that too much for your brain to handle?, if so buy the audio books yourself or buy the books you stupid punk.I will not complain about the quality its free and becuase its free it wont be perfect.Fucking morrons expecting shit these days you get what you get live with it or simply stop downloading stuff,if you want ''perfect'' quality you buy it and others like me we arent so bitchy about stuff its free and its better then nothing.Fucking whining bitch.

"M4B is an audiobook file. I convert a bunch of MP3 files (like you get when you rip a book on CD) into one audiobook file. The reason this is superior to several MP3s or one big MP3 is that M4B files have a place-saving function. So if you stop listening, whenever you come back to the file, it always knows where you left off. I play this type of file on my iPod or in iTunes."

im such a n00b. how can i listen to this on my itunes? i tried dragging in the folder but it did not work. just blank icons in the folder. do i need to change something?

From cassettes? Are you kidding me? Thanks for the warning.

Or you can just get an app that allows you to bookmark your place in the audiobook, which is what us 'SMRT PEEPZ' do. App Store and Android Market has hundreds.

Even old iPods have automatic bookmarking built it if you tag the file as an audiobook.

@xRawrlinx, Halvarssonlol

That may work if you're using an MP3 player, or a computer. However, I listen to these in my car, using a "USB device" (my phone). The car allows me to skip through MP3s, and seek. Sadly, seeking moves only at 2x speed. While it is rare that the head unit loses my position, if the phone dies, turns off, is update, media files change, or begins playing a different track the position will be lost. One audio book I listened to was several hours long, and just at the end I lost position. I was forced to use an aux cable and listen to the track without being able to easily pause it if needed. Sadly, the unit does not provide the ability to jump to a position on the track, making MP3 lists desirable. Don't call someone stupid because you think your solution works for everyone, because you will certainly find you are wrong.

.m4b ?!?! mp3 plzzz~

The sound quality is poor.

A better version is at

(The better version also has the chapters separated.)

@DctrEvil - No, actually you're the fucking moron for being so presumptuous as to think you know what *everyone* wants. Not everyone listens using the same devices or players, Einstein. For some of us, a single file is MUCH preferable to many small files. Get your head out of your ass and realize that not everyone does shit "your" way.

The hissing, popping, and sound of people talking is because of the ripping the audio from cassette tapes. The sound of people talking is the bleed through from the other side of the magnetic tape.

Best quality you're going to get without buying them from CD and ripping.

Thank you mate, nothing that beats divided in to chapters.

May the God of Tits and Wine bless you!!!

somehow i find it hard to believe a 17 gb version of this torrent is necessary...
