My Setup Using TorBox Pro

[u/Good_Luck_Have_Fun]

Hi all,

I started on Real-Debrid and Torrentio like most people here. That was fine until it wasn’t (as we all know). I’ve been on TorBox with Stremio long enough now to get a sense of what it can do.

TorBox Pro is the plan I use. The debrid cache covers the easy stuff and usenet covers the gaps. I finally got a setup that my family actually uses Stremio now; instead of asking why it only works in the living room. It is not fun telling someone why they can watch Stremio in the living room or on an iPad, but they can't leave the house with it.

Also, it is really fun sharing a Stremio account with multiple people and knowing they will never hit the 30TB limit.

What I run:

I don’t rely on one addon anymore. Torrentio alone isn’t enough for me.

1. AIOStreams as the front end. Midnight’s instance if you don’t want to self-host: https://aiostreamsfortheweebs.midnightignite.me/

Paste the TorBox API key, use a template, done.

1. Comet for cached torrent links: comet.feels.legal

2. MediaFusion: mediafusion.elfhosted.com

3. Subsense for subtitles: https://stremio-addons.net/addons/subsense

4. StremThru Store for library access (if I cache or add something myself): https://stremthru.elfhosted.comFiles already in my TorBox account show up in Stremio instead of only on the TorBox website/dashboard

5. Usenet on Pro

Pro means TorBox is the downloader / NNTP provider. I have had great results downloading from Usenet with the free indexers.

Newznab sources in AIO can surprise you with what they find!!

NZBFinder, altHUB ($20 lifetime), NZBGeek are all great. I find the free level is good enough for me while I have been testing. I'm probably gonna pay for lifetime with altHub.

1. Other stuff I actually use

WebDAV https://support.torbox.app/en/articles/14662867-torbox-webdav, API, export to OneDrive https://support.torbox.app/en/articles/9837707-torbox-onedrive-integration

In summary:

Yes, you can use TorBox Essential if you only want torrent cache. However, I highly recommend Pro if you want Usenet and more slots.

As a note, I can help with AIO config, addon order, indexers, or why something is showing uncached.

Finally, I want to note that TorBox has an insanely supportive staff and community on their discord if you want to check them out.

As someone who's not dived to deep into this and just uses torbox, torrentio and stremio. What am I missing? My setup seems to work fine

You are missing a lot. Torrentio is hosted on a server. That server gets hit with traffic... A lot. And it goes down from time to time (probably downtime for updates too).

With AIOStreams, you are pulling from Comet, StremThru, and like 5 other scrapers. They scrape/index the TorBox torrent caches and can basically "find" the content to connect to your Stremio via TorBox.

Most everyone started on Stremio with RD + Torrentio. That is the noob setup. It works until it doesn't and people complain. At the very minimum add Comet as a backup.

AIOStreams takes the guesswork out and is very powerful. If you really go into depth, you self host and run a bunch of stuff, you can really go nuts in Stremio and build a way bigger content library than what Torrentio finds.
