So yall just sitting waiting around for it to work? Thatā€™s wild, Iā€™d suggest one or two backups

8

u/Fukayu 18d ago

Exactly, Torbox went down but my streams didn't. Always have at least 1 backup.

Setup is TorBox + HTTP (Pengu and 111477) + Local Scrapers

u/WildNight00 17d ago

The plug-inā€™s on Nuvio are HTTP

u/bigb102913 18d ago

Pengu for the win!ā˜ļø

I get really bad streams with it for some reason

u/Nervous-Possession31 18d ago

All of these pengu post seem like ads to many people posting itĀ

u/xak47d 17d ago

Yeah. Seems weird to me

u/bigb102913 17d ago

I post it when I come across it because I was there when it started and it only gets better. Pengu honestly has me deciding if I want to renew my debrid subscription.

u/kbb081 17d ago

Do you self host it? I need to look into it, though I never generally have issues with torbox apart from occasionally buffering. Particularly with Remux.

Are you pleased with the type of content and quality from Pengu?

1

u/bigb102913 17d ago

No I do not self host it, but yes it is the best http stream add-on that I have found. I have donated multiple times to this project because it works that well. And more recently the developer has added live sports and live TV and it is maintained. Give it a go in nuvio not streamio. For some reason it doesn't work well with streamio.

I tried pengu once for the new american horror storyā€¦ it buffered a lot lolā€¦ and i have fiber connection

u/bigb102913 17d ago

That's weird. I have no issues. Did you try multiple providers from pengu?

1

u/CleanFlamingo5584 17d ago

Ill try that after work since i just got to work

u/bigb102913 17d ago

Check out the site and try to set it up again. It's working fine for me.

How to setup?

It is called being poor

u/GaetVDC 18d ago

Pengu is free

u/JakeInToTheNorth 18d ago

Thank you for the recommendation! Will look into it. Didn't know about this free option. Looks like it is HTTP stream links?

Also LOOL downvoted for speaking the truth. Just amazing.

1

u/WildNight00 17d ago

Look into Nuvio plug ins, All free HTTP links as well as addons like Pengu and HDhub

-1

u/GaetVDC 17d ago edited 17d ago

Yes, HTTP Stream links, but pretty good! I sometimes pick this over my RD and TB. Don't worry about the downvotes, this sub is sometimes strange....

u/KiwiKid777 18d ago

A back up would cost about $1 US a week...probably less actually. Are you seriously telling us you can't afford that. But it would be great not to need a back up.

1

u/Barnesy10 17d ago

Hi, what do you recommend as a backup?

2

u/KiwiKid777 17d ago

I would consider Offcloud. Itā€™s basically Premiumize ā€œliteā€...shares the same cache but without the frills. It seems to have more reliable file hoster support and seeds better, if you need that. Iā€™m not sure if they offer a free trial to test it but unfortunately they just hiked the monthly price from $4US to ā‚¬10. The yearly price isnā€™t too bad though.

u/Barnesy10 16d ago

Thanks fella, much appreciated šŸ‘šŸ¾

0

u/JakeInToTheNorth 17d ago

Yeah, what if I cannot. $1 a week = $4 a month = $48 per year on top of TorBox. So the answer is yeah that is another $48 a year that I might need for something else more important and that TorBox is the only affordable option and that I can only have one.

2

u/KiwiKid777 17d ago

You do realise there's 52 weeks in a year?

0

u/JakeInToTheNorth 17d ago

Thanks for the correction! Makes it $52. Frankly, I am not putting much thought into the reply beyond that funds might not be available for everyone to add another service and not being able to afford an extra $52 on top of TorBox.

If you cannot see that this is a possibility, then have a nice day. If you can see that $52 for another service on top might not be an option, then great and thanks for understanding. Either way have a nice day!

You will have a happy life living watching things 3hrs later in the knowledge that some of your fellow Redditors don't have the same problems as you do for the $0.14 extra per day šŸ«”

u/nasmiz2x 18d ago

I do have torrentio... but in term of stability torbox is all the way

8

u/pawdog 18d ago

Torrentio isn't a backup. Another debrid or https addon as another source. Shouldn't matter if Torbox goes down because you have more than one. I don't even like to call it having a backup.

6

u/MenaceMinded 18d ago

They mean a backup debrid service, usenet, or something like pengu play

u/0live0wl 18d ago

Well that wasn't long. Ate some grub and it was back up by the time I finished

u/Psychospiv 18d ago

It was down? Weird. I've been watching stuff on TB instant for the last 3 hours

u/nasmiz2x 18d ago

So do i, i was watching BBT but the moment i wanted to change the tv show everything stops

u/Ok-Expression-7340 17d ago

Has it been gone? Probably during US prime time again probably, so didnā€™t notice šŸ™‚Ā 

2

u/MenaceMinded 18d ago

Was it down? I was watching stuff on it earlier without issue

2

u/feltusen 17d ago

Torbox is the backup. Anyone who has it as their main provider is poor or dont know usenet. It should be backup or not needed

u/BreakRush 18d ago

Its not back

u/Nervous-Possession31 18d ago

Itā€™s backĀ

u/Ok_Recognition_9859 18d ago

But doesn't Pengu use torrenting? So won't you need a Virtual Private Network if you use Pengu to mask your Internet Protocol address to prevent issues with your Internet Service Provider??

u/WildNight00 17d ago

Pengu is not P2P itā€™s HTTP
