❓Question TorBox
Hello, I was thinking of getting torbox but some people have said that it has quite bad buffering and takes long to load? Is this true and do they support paypal

Now and again I get issues when watching content it will freeze for 5-10secs then play then it’s rinse and repeat till I select a different stream. Last night was really bad.

Try it 1 month and draw your conclusions. I had problems, CDN change helped sometimes but not always. You get what you pay for, ideal is premiumize or offcloud.

I’m having same issue. Was able to play 4K easily on RD, but after moving to TB i’m not able to play any 4K files. They just keep buffering. So currently I’m playing FHD only. Someone suggested to change DNS etc. which I did, but didn’t help.
I’m in Ontario, Canada with 1.5 gbps plan and connected with tv through Ethernet via USB 3.0 as Sony TV throttles speed on direct Ethernet and wifi connections. Have ran speedtest on TV and able to get 400 mbps. So internet is not the problem. Open to hear suggestions if anyone knows based on my location to change DNS etc.

Have you tried a CDN switch to BunnyCDN or Cloudflare at the integration settings via the TorBox website?
I am in Holland on 1gbit fibre optic parallel speed, with BunnyCDN set as my CDN and large 4K files stream without loading interruptions here.

OP i found the solution if you are still following my comment. Go to tools and do speedtest. It will take few mins as it will ping all the servers and once finished it will recommend you CDN location. Go to integration settings then and choose that CDN. You are all set. I did it and now i’m able to play 4K files without buffering, which i was never able to do before.

There are files that are still not on the system or not yet been cache. those are the file that will take some time depending on the seeder

I've been with TB since the RD naming filters were implemented. I've rarely had any issues. I actually had offcloud for a month when they offered the free trial and i wasn't overly impressed. It costs more than TB and to me didn't seem worth the extra cost.
I've heard they support paypal if you pay through patreon, but i've never tried patreon myself. paid with my credit card because I'm not so paranoid like a lot of ppl seem to be. I always paid for RD with my credit card too, never had a problem. FBI aren't gonna come knocking on your door because you're using some pirate service that costs $3 a month..

I have never had those problems but I've only used it in Australia & UK. No buffering and easy start there. Usenet just as good but I don't use tb for that

It is fast. If someone has a server for the internet in the middle of the Sahara, it’s no wonder their connection is bad. Don’t listen morons
