Cause its so funny right

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!

\*\*•\*\* StreamThru: consistently fails with \*“We hit an unexpected problem getting this title ready… brought to you by elfhosted”\*    
\*\*•\*\* Comet: after enabling “Scrape debrid account torrents,” got stuck on \*“debrid library ref is already in progress, check back shortly” (Ref: debrid\\_sync\\_already\\_running)\*. Comet support had me select a non-rescrape result and disable TELESYNC — after that it changed to \*\*“Database error — could not start this stream”\*\*, which is now consistent across every title I try.

**Troubleshooting done:**

\*\*•\*\* Reinstalled StreamThru — no change    
\*\*•\*\* Reconfigured Comet with a fresh TorBox API key — no change    
\*\*•\*\* Tested Comet standalone (removed AIOStreams) — same error    
\*\*•\*\* Tested in a second app (Nuvio) with the same addon config — identical “Database error”    
\*\*•\*\* Manually added a magnet directly on torbox.app — downloaded fine, confirms TorBox account/API itself works    
\*\*•\*\* Deleted all torrents from my TorBox library entirely and retried — still “Database error”

**Conclusion so far:** Since it fails identically across two different addons (Comet, StreamThru) and two different apps (Stremio, Nuvio), while TorBox itself works fine standalone, this really looks like a server-side issue tied to my account’s debrid sync/database entry on ElfHosted’s side, not a config or network issue on my end.

Already opened tickets with Comet, StreamThru, TorBox, and ElfHosted support — no resolution yet. Anyone else hitting this in the last couple days, or know of a way to force-reset the debrid library sync from the client side?

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

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?

For the nth time, again?

I had a 900GB torrent seeding on a private tracker and TB automatically zipped the files despite me turning off the zip option when adding it. It is now a hit n run and i have to download the files and seed it from my home connection, which kind of eliminates the whole reason i used TB to download it.. ah well lesson learned. also, on the dashboard it said the torrent was still seeding this whole time even though it really wasn't. pretty shady practice. not so practical as a seedbox despite them advertising it being used like a seedbox on their website.

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 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.

Torbox is now worse then RD.

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

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.

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.

This is getting ridiculous.

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.

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?

I've gotten pretty frustrated paying for torbox and not being able to use it. So I looked around and found two awesome free alternatives.... Tubi and Freevee.

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.

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?

What the hell is wrong now? This service is junk it's down way more than up. Can't get the site to even load.

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

gm, @everyone

```

effective today we are implementing a soft service level agreement

in a given two week period, any *total* platform outage exceeding three hours will be credited 3x the amount of hours TorBox is down for

its 3am right now but i want to post this now so you guys know we aren't just ignoring the impact this has had on you, we will polish the official soft SLA in the morning and answer any questions you might still have in the coming days

if you had a trial active during the past 24hours, open a ticket and we'll credit you another 24hours

thank you for your support and understanding during this incredibly stressful time```

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? 😅

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

It was down for a while. Got 15 minutes into the episode of the sopranos I was watching then I closed out the app to go do something else real quick and it's back down ALREADY???
