Yup. It doesn’t take away from a butthurt cofounder doing this because somebody hurt his feelings.
If you saw the exchange it was ridiculous, the guy had a valid point and the admin was just abusing his power. Doesn’t matter now, he got put in his place.
I’ve seen where it has down previously, but I’ve been lucky that I am out doing other stuff when that happens. So I’ve missed almost all of the downtimes. This time I wasn’t even watching TV, my wife was. I’m the resident IT person, though, so here I am.
God damn it.. I don't usually comment on posts like this, but it really started to get on my nerves, this service is unreliable as f***. As other mentioned, it goes down very often. Unfortunately it's the best alternative to rd out there 😭
It’s what happens when the other, the mpst popular service goes un-usable. There was a stampede of new active users. Of course there were going to be consequences.
I came to the conclusion "just use it while it lasts. If they close in 6 months, I would have enjoyed it until then, and it still will be time to jump to TB and complain it doesn't work".
AD sucks ass. And their servers aren't any better if you want to complain this much. I literally had my account deleted and refunded because they had too many people joining. Never bothered with them ever again.
They did what Torbox should have done. Too many people join at once and you get downtime because their infrastructure keeps getting overloaded at busy times, as evidenced right now with Torbox and their service issues.
Wrong. Its 100% reliable. Ive never had a single issue outside of that 1 day they got Ddos attacked. And haven't experienced anything since. Its 100% on you why issues are happening
I work at engineering.. specifically services and backend. We also had issues like this at the company.. but guess what, we found the root cause and fixed them. That was our top priority.
When some part of the service is down.. how the hell is that on me or any other person here 🤣
There's numerous ways to watch the games. I don't know if naming the different apps are against the rules here but I use SportzX, which is free, as my backup and my main way of watching is using the paid Tivimate app + an iptv subscription. Check G2G for reliable iptv providers if you do decide to go with Tivimate.
Better. I made the switch and haven’t looked back. TB is my backup now. With that being said, it has a lower fair usage limit, so if you’re looking to stream huge remuxes, it may not be for you. However, it’s very stable. Alternatively, you could use it as a backup to TB.
Signing up for Premiumize as I read this thread. I'm gonna try a month first. $10 to try it... if I don't have any problems for the month, $8/month for the yearly deal is just fine by me. I don't wanna keep dealing with this. For those of you defending the service saying "it's just $3 a month." Yeah... that's why I'm spending $10 for a better service.
Ive paid for a month and used about 3 days so far with the amount of downtime, yeah its cheap, cool, but my time is worth more to me than the amount I paid for the service
I didn't renew my RD sub because I wanted to try TB and it looks like I'm going back to RD, a paid service should not have this many outages. Good thing I only subbed for a month.
Yep. It's getting to the point now where it may be time to ditch Torbox and switch to the one beginning with All or the one beginning with Prem. Torbox isn't worth the hassle.
Yeah, I’ve been seeing elevated API error rates again as well.
One thing that sometimes helps is running the TorBox speed test and checking which CDN performs best from your location. In my experience, if the nearest CDN is having issues, switching to HARE or ERTH can occasionally improve things. My understanding is that these are third-party CDNs, and depending on routing and ISP conditions, they may experience less congestion than the default/closest option.
Also, if you’re using an Android TV device, keep in mind that many Android TV apps and devices are effectively limited by single-threaded downloads. Because of that, I usually pay more attention to the non-multithreaded speed test results rather than the multithreaded ones, since they’re often a better indicator of the real-world streaming performance you’ll get.
That said, if the API itself is having problems, CDN changes may only partially help until the underlying issue is resolved.
Same here. It went down last night, and even though the status page currently claims everything is fixed and 'operational', I still can't get almost anything to stream or load.
Now that they are growing and pulling in so many new users—especially with people migrating due to RD's recent filters—they seriously need to invest more into their infrastructure. If they step up and fix these stability issues, they have everything it takes to be number one. But if they keep going down like this, they’ll eventually bleed users and die out.
Go to settings on Torbox change your cdn settings from auto to the server closest to you for example for me Central United States. Clears it up and speeds it up.
I'm having issues with it today. Scraping fine but not loading any links.
I checked with the boys which should stream.
My real debrid is working.
I got the free trial period to see if it's worth switching from RD. The comment section leaves a bad taste in my mouth about the switch. Issues on a weekly basis who cbf 🤦
I was earlier using Real Debrid, but since it had filtering issues, it showed fewer links. So I shifted to TorBox, and it is down whenever I need to watch. Can anyone please suggest the best service? I am very new and would appreciate your help.
Literally just signed up and got it added to my stremio and now it’s down…. Seems like a regular occurrence based on the comments. Anyone know any RD alternatives that actually work??
10 euros a month.. still cheaper than a Netflix subscription lol. I just got my torbox subscription today so they’re got 30 days to sort it out or I’m jumping ship.
You should of read the room before buying an annual subscription, all the real debrid twats were obviously going to overload them and they would never limit the amount of people they are taking on
Oh shut the fuck up you moron. Always some prick like you in a thread pointing stupid stuff out. They are paying for a service, period. Service is constantly down then price really does not matter. Then $3 or $10 is irrelevant because they are getting NOTHING for their money if service is down all the time. Your not paying $3 or $10 to have a service working if your lucky!
Maybe actually try trouble shooting.... it isn't down that much and if you're noticing this many issues. Maybe get a life. Ive hardly had any issues. Close to 0. You ppl need to stfu.

Alright it’s time to start granting extra days with these recent outages
