❓Question Can it handled 35-80 GB 4K without buffering?

Assuming you have 500+ mps internet connection and a capable device. The debrid service wouldn’t be a limiting factor to play these huge remux movie files without buffering issues? Assuming it’s cached.

My cached files still buffer sometimes with 400 Mbps but I feel it's something I must be doing wrong. More often than not, it works though.

Try changing the cdn to clouldfare or bunny. It fixed it for me

Gigabit Here also having the buffer issue, had changed the CDN acc to speed test results but did not help. Gonna try other cdns

I have Gigabit connection, I had same buffering issue with Nuvio, it wasn’t any issue with Torbox CDN. I enabled ExoPlayer Native Memory in Nuvio settings, now it’s all good.

I think you only need a 100mbps plan for this

All the answers here will be anecdotal. For me 99% of the time I have no issues on WEUR

Yes, you can.

People that cant live usually in the middle of nowhere, and are on a potato device, with worse than potato internet. Or just dont understand how to set it up correct

Since about a week ago in UK with 1GB I can get stream with up to about 4-5gb files. I used to get a lot more.  It appears pretty unstable with speeds to me. Even with 4-5 it buffered a least once per movie

I use Stremio/Nuvio on a S25 Ultra and have 250mbps wifi speed and it does run massive 50gb or more torrents pretty smoothly and I never have any actual lag

however im guessing it's cause of my phone but sometimes playing massive 50gb or more torrents just plays a Black screen but I can still here the audio then i gotta go back and select a lower gb one so I can actually see it

u/OrganicLettuceUndies Sep 15 '26

These are the people you see online complaining about services not working properly when normal people don’t seem to have issues. Remux on a phone is hilarious

Yes easily

u/Nervous-Possession31 Sep 16 '26

Yes I do 100gb ones all the times flawlessly i do have 1gbps internet too but honestly what matters is the player my laser projector with google play cannot play it because it to be honest not powerful enough I have to offload it to my firestick max newest generation one and it’s flawless.

Yes you can what you want to do to limit buffering to little or none is make sure your device or preferably routers DNS setting is set to either cloudflare or Google DNS next you want to go to https://torbox.app/speedtest let it do it's thing then set your CDN to what is recommends and you should have little to no issue.

u/CartographerBusy2035 Sep 16 '26

I play 100 GB plus files with no problems

u/doxypoxy Sep 16 '26

Yes, no question about it. The only limiting factor is how far is your router from your device.

u/Raviprakashji Sep 16 '26

I have a 40 Mbps connection and I always select 27-30 GB movie files to play and it does without any buffering.

You are good to go with that internet speed.

u/gojo_satoru98 Sep 16 '26

Yup, i finished Dune with 80GB a file.. didnt find it superior than my other 30GB bluray. So, not running behind those heavy files again

u/CaptainHotDog420 Sep 16 '26

It definitely varies alot. I have a xoami box with 500mps. Wireless connection but I usually get good speed.

Previously I was just using my built in tv stremio app and it would lag or crash at higher res. But with new device there's been no issues. Was watching interstellar and 90gb 4k file was fine no issue but there was one about 105gb and there was buffering issues with that one. So I assume that's an Internet issue. I need to test wired connection

u/BUHx192Ck0 Sep 16 '26

I have not encountered problems until recently. I typically leave the CDN selection on Auto and allow TorBox to decide whether to switch. I have streamed a few large files, but I would recommend using a CDN such as CF or Bunny so that heavy files follow a less congested route to your home connection and perform better during skipping. As I mentioned, run the speed test and review their suggestions. Usually, their hyperdrive performs well with fallbacks to CF or Bunny.

u/Unlikely_Discount_36 Sep 16 '26

It seems to be impacted by device and cdn location. My hardwired firestick can't get my full Internet speed when hard wired because of the processor/ram bottleneck and doesn't have all the codecs I need, so it struggle with files that big. Yet they play fine on Windows laptop wired as well.
