Torrents are theft. Librivox is great because the books are out of copyright and the readers have volunteered their time.
However authors write to make a living. They want to be paid, and so to the people that work at the sound studio and the actor who reads. So for current books, see if your public library has a copy.
Since the library buys the audio books, it is free.

If you download utorrent at http://www.utorrent.com (a torrent downloading program where you can download music, movies, etc.) then go to mininova.com and search the book you want you’ll probably be able to download it. If you find what you want click on it then select "download this torrent’ on the page that uploads after you click on it. When the dialogue box pops up click "Save" and save it in your documents. Then open utorrent (after you’ve installed it) and go to File, then select add torrent then add the one you saved in your documents and it will download.

"LibriVox provides free audiobooks from the public domain. "
Public domain means that the only audiobooks you can get are books written before 1920.
Wikisource also has a lot of audiobooks. You can get the entire category here. Wikisource is going to public domain too.

If you want modern audiobooks, some libraries have online sites where you can download for free if you have a card. Check to see if your local or state library has a site. I know the New York Public Library has a site with thousands of audiobooks.
You can also get pretty much any audiobook you want illegally on the internet on a download or torrent site. But of course that’s illegal.
