I recommend Soulseek as well. You can find almost any audiobook on there, no VPN needed. Use Nicotine+ on desktop and Seeker on Android. iPhone users are out of luck though.

Hoopla or Libby. Have a family member or a friend get a library card then give you the number. Download these apps and then use the library card information they give you. There you go.
May I ask why you can't use the torrents on Audiobookbay? I use it and it works great. Torrents usually download in just a few minutes.
Wow first I'm hearing of this, how can I add it to Prowlarr?
OP said "only use their torrents" and they want direct download options...
I know, and I'm wondering why they dont want to use torrents
Probably doesn't want to pay for a VPN.
I use Nicotine+. It connects to the Soulseek network. I find many audiobooks there. Usually fast downloads. People share directly from their computers.
So you’re als uploading automatically? Isn’t this the same as torrenting?
No, because you share individual folders accessible to anyone. It's not homogeneous data that is pooled together based on hash.
If you have a copy of Dungeon Crawler Carl, and another guy has a copy of Dungeon Crawler Carl, people can choose to download from either of you, but not from both of you at the same time.
I didn't ever make an account there I just paste the hash into Tixati but yeah if your client doesn't support it you can also convert the hash to a magnet link on a lot of sites.
Ive used myanonamous for years, its a private torrent tracker. Obviously needs sign up though sorry.
You can find some on soulseek. Would need to create a username/password but no email required.

IRC is pretty good. There are bots that serve up e-books but many also have audiobooks. It’s direct download with a few extra steps.
Librivox.org has most of the public domain stuff and cross posts to archive.org, my favorite so far is the sleepy hollow reading by Chip

There are web based torrent downloaders like WebTorrent. But you'll probably need to sign up for audiobookbay or hope that some public service like The Pirate Bay has what you're looking for.
You don't need to sign up to audiobookbay. Just paste the hash into your torrent client.
Yeah! I saw another commenter say that. That's awesome. Had no clue. Thanks!
