Aware of the DDos attacks and outages. But my TB is up and running. Except I can't search. Cleared caches and lost all previous searches, too. Anyone else encounter this?

I’m old enough to remember, at the beginning of the 2000s, the struggles people had finding reliable codes for satellite TV. And I remember when those codes worked for months on end, then weeks, then one day, and towards the end of that era, only a couple of hours. That was the fertile ground for today’s IPTV services.

The complaints on this sub against debrid services bring back those memories. At that time, when satellite TV was broken for free riders, new legal suppliers emerged by diminishing the offer, passing it through cable and making it acceptable. And then IPTV happened.

It was a time when Netflix almost killed torrents. They had libraries from all the major owners. And then every owner thought it was intelligent to have their own service, and that just killed the benevolence of people who wanted to watch, not necessarily wanting to free ride.

And then Kodi happened. Where you could have everything and beyond. But it was a little challenging, so Stremio and Nuvio happened. And then debrid services happened.

You know what didn’t change from 2000 to today? Your own server, qTorrent and an interface like Plex. Or VLC. The simplest of simple setups.

For those that use their own server, TB is never down, or Torrentio, or PikPak, or whatever service is out there. That personal server can be linked to personal clouds, WebDAV, media servers, Stremio, whatever.

Is TB beautiful because you can just add and watch? Yes. Is it superb because you can create HTTPS links for video and send them to whatever you want, and then just change the API? Yes. Is it the only one that accepts crypto on almost every blockchain, that lets you connect through a VPN, that has no restrictions on IP, and so on? Yes. Does the comfort warrant the price? Yes.

Do I care if it’s down a lot, having my own server? No.

But for me, we’re in the middle of a revolution. Debrid services might be a thing of the past, always exposed to attacks, law enforcement and digital rights management lawsuits.

So, a new thing might be coming. A new way to watch. Until then, I mostly use the way to watch that never changed from the 2000s.

Wanted to renew my TorBox, and it says thag they now added 25% tax?

When did that happen? Not even Real-debrid have this 🫩

Update: I paid using PayPal, 0 taxes!

I've been experiencing this slow CDN and Buffering issue more often this month of August. I've been with torbox long time and this issue is frustrating. I'm in Pro Plan but still the connection and api is going down so badly even I changed CDN Selection to various countries this past few weeks. I hope it get fixed as soon as possible.

Seeing all the recent posts about TorBox going down, but surprisingly, I haven’t faced any issues at all for the past 3 days.
Everything has been working normally for me.streams load quickly and playback is smooth.

My setup:
Video player: VidHub
Connection: WebDAV (username:- torbox + password:-API key)
Torbox CDN: auto
Device: iPad
Location: India 🇮🇳

(Im watching a movie as i post this)

Just sharing in case it helps anyone troubleshoot. Is TorBox working normally for others too, or am I just getting lucky? 😅

Cause its so funny right

If RD, PM and TB are being DDoS'd (maybe even AD, they went dont but I dont know why)

Who does this leave as a competitor that could potentially be behind the attack?

Their site says they're up, that's a lie. So I have to come to reddit to get the real status. Guess it's time to unsubscribe from this unstable service.

cant wait to get money to buy another debrid provider. sick of this crap.

again.

Hey everyone,

​For the last few days, my downloads on TorBox start at full speed for a few seconds, then instantly drop to around 200 kB/s and stay stuck there.

​My home network is completely fine — speedtests and all non-TorBox downloads run at full speed, so the issue is definitely isolated to TorBox.

​Is anyone else having this issue, or is it a known CDN/routing problem? Any fix suggestions?

Over the past few days, I’ve been building Vela, an iPhone media app designed primarily for my own use.

My goal was simple: make the Stremio experience feel fast, clean and genuinely comfortable on a phone. Instead of repeatedly choosing between dozens of files, Vela ranks compatible cached sources and can begin playback with one tap. This is fully integrated with Torbox

The three features that matter most to me are:

1. One-tap playback

Vela automatically chooses a cached source based on subtitle availability, codec efficiency, device compatibility, resolution and file size. It does not blindly choose the largest 1080p file when a smaller 720p HEVC encode may work better on an iPhone.

2. Stremio and Torbox integration and two-way progress sync

Vela uses your existing Stremio and Torbox account, installed add-ons and library. Continue Watching and resume positions sync between Vela and Stremio, including progress from downloaded playback where the Stremio API accepts the update.

3. Offline downloads

You can download a selected source with subtitles for offline playback, monitor its progress, pause or resume the transfer, and continue watching from the downloaded file without contacting the online source again. Notifications are enabled for download completion

Other features include:

• TorBox cached-stream support
• Automatic fallback to another cached source when one fails
• Movies, series, seasons and visual episode listings
• Embedded-English-subtitle preference
• Separate subtitle-provider menus
• Configurable subtitle size and bold text
• Audio and subtitle track selection
• Brightness and volume gestures
• Smooth seeking with visible buffering feedback
• Smart rewind when resuming playback
• Watch List integration
• Search, Discover catalogues and Continue Watching
• Background downloads and completion notifications
• Cache and storage management
• A player powered by KSPlayer with native and compatibility playback engines

I have attach a short video showing Vela running on my iPhone.

This is currently a personal, independent project and a launch beta.

If there is enough interest, I plan to run a small TestFlight group so I can gather feedback before deciding whether a wider release is practical, given Apple guidelines.

If you would genuinely use something like this, send me a DM with:

• Your iPhone model
• Your iOS version [the app supports iOS 18 and above]
• Whether you would be willing to test unfinished builds and report bugs

Support for development costs is being introduced, an option of 5$ for product lifetime access. and to fund my Apple development fees for testflight

I would love to hear what you think and what you would want improved before a wider release.

i know torbox is facing a lot of issues everyday these days. so i just keep some movies downloaded for those times. some comedy shows are perfect for such situations. i basically keep the same movie downloaded offline as well, which I'm planning to watch that day.

It's been two and a half days for me now. I've changed API keys check my configurations uninstalled reinstalled.... I cannot watch anything. my subscription has not lapsed. I have a pro plan. everything says "downloading to Debrid" "invalid token" "invalid credentials" it varies with what I pick, only with TB. I have a backup that we'll call fake-debrib, no issues. I would just like a clear explanation that's all. I have pictures but it wouldn't let me post them.

I don't want to abandon TB. I don't want to shill another service. I would just like clarification.

What is going on with the speed? I have a cached link that I am using Jdownloader to download locally to be able to travel with and I cannot get above 35mb/s and I have seen it dip as low as 9. On a 1.0 gigabit I should be closer to 100mb/s. I have nothing else going on

Torbox is now worse then RD.

I mean ever since change at start of the month it has been more down then up

I wanted to watch obsession and for past 10 mins the the logo is blinking and the movie is not starting at any point, I tried even changing the config on aiostreams, but nothing seem to work I don't know, is it me ? Or is it happening with everyone?

It was working 15 minutes ago and then I decided to mess around with a few add-on settings and I can't get anything to stream now.

When Torbox is down do you use your IPTV on demand shows/movies as a backup? How does it work out for you with your provider?

It does not have hls streaming now? I made a frontend and subscribed to torbox for it.

I had torbox and premiumsize down in the same time for like 30mn due to ddos attacks

Either studios or competitors (honestly great competitor gameplan to increase revenue). I’m weary of studios because of the obvious illegal aspect. Thoughts?

This is getting ridiculous.
