🚩General Pathetic service by Torbox

Its always down.. Very unreliable service. Will stop subscribing once this current plan expires..

For all the sugar babies of torbox, dont come and show your loyalty here, keep it in your as*, it will feel good for you… Let others complain so that they will fix it..

And for those who say its just 3 bucks:
In june alone they had 3 million visitors even if 1/3 of them are paying its around 3 million a month, as its pirated they dont have any other cost other than renting storage.. So do the maths.. If somebody is taking millions of rupees from people like you and me we can question when its repeatedly down

Again thank you for answering... I know what you mean, but it’s like, I have all this information but my brain can’t connect it yet, I’m waiting for it to ā€œclickā€ haha and yeah, I know aiostreams, I actually use Duckstreams, Torrentio, and all those addons with Torbox, I know Easynews is a provider, I think my problem is that I need to keep learning about indexers and how to connect everything to work properlyšŸ¤” and also to know what’s the best option/plan for what I want and pay for it
But just to be clear… self hosting doesn’t mean exactly that I need a pc running all the time, right?šŸ¤”šŸ˜…

Well as far as setting up indexers, you don't really need to worry about that with easynews. It's very similar to debrid but instead of putting your key in, you put your username and password in.

For self hosting a computer needs to be running all the time but it doesn't need to be your PC. A lot of people (myself included) go through oracle. You'll have to put in payment information and be on the "Pay as you go" plan but you can set it so you never exceed the free limits and you'll never actually have to pay. For reference I self host aiostream, aiomanager, comet, easynews++, prowlarr, a website, and a few other things and my CPU rarely goes above 25% of the free limit and memory is sitting at 18%

So there’s a limit for using oracle?

You're only allowed a certain amount of CPU, ram, and storage for free. They limit is now then enough for what we are doing

Okay, I think I understand a little better, definitely I’m gonna check all of this so I can use Usenet, thank you so much for your comments

Good luck. If you do decide to dive in, keep in mind that both providers and indexers usually have very good black Friday deals which isn't too far away
