Default Gatemp3.com for downloads

I found the download site www.gatemp3.com. Is it safe to join and download from this site. I'm looking for an audio book and was told it may be available here. I can't find it anywhere else. I'm new to downloading and am unfamiliar with a lot of this stuff, so thanks.

That's not even the same website. It gets redirected to reactordownloads.com, bestmp3-mix.com, find-that-song.com, etc. everytime I click on it, it goes to a different site!

Ultimately, an Mp3 file shouldn't hurt your computer. Bear in mind, 90% of these mp3 sites are actually illegal and don't actually have the rights to what they sell.

Why don't you see if your audio book is actually there first before signing up? I wouldn't touch a site that doesn't even stayed anchored to a single URL.

After actually looking at those sites - yuck. Don't touch them. All just redirect, are all of popups and ads and spyware, and it looks like they don't even have direct downloads, they are just masked torrenting p2p sharing networks that charge a premium.

What are you trying to find anyway?

What audiobook are you looking for? I've had good luck with most everything I've looked for with audible.com...unless you're not interested in paying for these things.

If you are paying to steal things from the internet you are doing things wrong. (Usenet is a moderate exception to this)

Albert Speer Inside the Third Reich. I don't mind paying for the stuff I want. I've learned that the site I asked about is not worth the trouble, partly due to the comments here. Thanks to all.

Finding an audiobook is not going to be easy. An ebook would be.
