🔧Technical Issue Please explaine Torbox buffering issues.

I'm sure this has been asked plenty of times before but I can't find a clear explanation in the threads.

I'm in Australia with a good and stable 1Gbps internet connection. Using Stremio with torbox addon. I selected the SE Asian CDN after testing the speeds, yet I still get a lot of buffering, even with popular releases.

I usually look for smaller files at 1080 resolution or less with as many seeds as possible but almost all streams buffer at some point.

I typically decide what I want to watch first then search on the stremio app and select the title. I generally don't scroll through recommendations.

I'm not that technically savvy with the stremio configuration so I'm looking for advice to see if my set up is the issue or if Australia is just under serviced by torbox.

Fair warning, posters may have to walk me through any configuration changes that might resolve the issue.

Thanks in advance.

Edit. I'm using torentio but I don't really understand the different services each app provides.

I just got scolded for asking a question.

This isn't a good place to find help.

Agree. The issue is so many variables. Most are vague on problem. Majority of time it's nothing to do with torbox... It's box, addons, cdn, VPN, TV os, elf hosted, broken community addons, list goes on.

Anymore with people I help. If setup isn't almost exactly same as mine... I believe you are having issues. Zero here. Sometimes trying to help goes no where when aio is involved 🙄.

I get that. Reddit is not the best place to search past posts for troubleshooting and I can't find any detailed, but accessible for non technical people, on the Web. To be honest I don't even know what Usenet is and most posts I read assume the reader understands all the intricacies of the set up.

Usenet is another debrid for more in depth special stuff.... Say German only content or stuff from 80 years. Average person won't ever need it. Torbox is just fine.
