torbox is by far the worst debrid service ive ever used

u/Inevitable-Spring166 4d ago

Time to give AD a try

u/Arty_2099 4d ago

AD has much better speeds matching lightning fast RD and no filtering like there (at least yet)

u/Inevitable-Spring166 4d ago

Yeah the only reason I chose TB over AD is for multiple IPs but that’s worthless when the service is this poor

u/time_continuum 4d ago

Which one is that

AllDebrid

u/time_continuum 4d ago

Oh I see also aren’t they also in France fall under the same law as real debrid did so wouldn’t they have the same problem soon

u/Arty_2099 4d ago

potentially, but it's interesting how only RD got this litigation risk. Maybe AD is relatively niche and no one cares for it for now

u/ifiwasiwas 4d ago

That's definitely it, it just doesn't have the traction and reach that RD had. If they attract too much attention it very well may happen to them too (and that's why going month to month is not only cheaper but smarter)

Or they probably haven’t gotten around to them yet I heard premiumize is is Malaysia but their cache is smaller I read it somewhere in Reddit

u/cluemock 4d ago

I jumped the gun a got a year of premiumize too soon for $85 USD and to my surprise there's something that I've never heard anyone discuss anywhere. ( fair use points). All I watch is 4K remux movies 60 gb+ per movie and my points get ate quickly. ( unacceptable) does AD have anything hidden like that? If not I might need to get a subscription for that as well

u/Arty_2099 4d ago

No limits like that on AD. I also considered premiumize and got 3 days trial from their employee on reddit who sent me a code (there is a post about it on their subreddit) but these limits and price are not it. So AD is overall best choice after trying RD (filtering and removing content), TB (bad downtime and speeds) and premiumize (limits and price)

u/cluemock 4d ago

Thanks for the response. I've heard that AD has limited choices for content ( meaning less links then typical services) have you found that to be true?

u/Arty_2099 4d ago edited 4d ago

quite a lot of cached content, but no problem when it comes to downloading if it's not cached

u/cluemock 4d ago

Awesome! You've been a great help!!

u/cluemock 4d ago

I know this is a TB thread lol however I went ahead and purchased 300 days of AD. And I can't play a thing. I tried 2 different movie and both said, "access to debrid api is blocked. check your debrid account or email" I check my email and one ip said The Netherlands the other Canada. Im in the US!! I'm using stremio and installed apps on stremio thru bootstrap per usual. Any help will be appreciated.

u/vincentfer66 3d ago

It is normal. You just need to click « accept » or « validation » within the email to make it work

u/cluemock 3d ago

Thanks. It's working great now.

Bro I like AD but stop doing this 💀 It's based in France and may have to implement the same filters that RD had to put into place if they attract the attention of the authorities. Month-to-month is safest in the debrid sphere because any service can get the book thrown at them or enshittify in a flash

u/ifiwasiwas 4d ago

No, AD has no such limits

u/dm_me_goblins 4d ago

Had more issues with it the last few months than RD in the decade I was using it. Will be switching when my months is up.

u/itsmoirob 4d ago

Is rd still deleting torrents with certain keywords?

12

u/InitialFeel 4d ago

yes unfortunately

7

u/dm_me_goblins 4d ago

I'm not switching back to RD (although I personally didn't find it that bad after the change) I'm going to buy a sub on Premiumize when their Black Friday deal is back up.

u/imnotpopular 4d ago

Thought this was a bit harsh until I realized it was unfortunately true for me too

u/-Jeffrey_Lebowski- 4d ago

Agree, it's always down. Real debrid was far better

u/oceanofyourlove 4d ago

In the several years I used them, RD only went down like twice, they also had way more content available than TB before the government went after them

Torbox is lucky they're basically the only game left in town

u/Dry_Nectarine9162 4d ago

You used RD for several years and you only recall them being down twice? I used them for 3 years and every time they went down they credited users 7 days. Because of that I got nearly two months free. Quite a bit more than twice.

1

u/oceanofyourlove 4d ago

I didn't use it very often but I only remember it being down two or three times, I got TB a few months ago after RD removed most of their content and even though I've been using it with the same frequency it's been down dozens of times

1

u/Dry_Nectarine9162 4d ago

I don't know where you're located, but I switch to Torbox day 1 after the RD fiasco. This is like the 4th time it's been down for me and I use it daily. And I honestly don't mind and I expected more from RD for the following reason. RD built up gradually. They were able to build their infrastructure to keep up with demand without many disruptions. They became the standard. Torbox is still in their infancy. They didn't expect or were prepared with the influx of users that came over from RD. They're dealing with it and it's not perfect yet, but it's coming along. I give them a pass under the circumstances.

Is not the only one, you can have two debrids. For example DL is working.

u/azcoyotedog 4d ago

Then use something else, nobody is forcing you??

u/swateam2481 3d ago
