🔧Technical Issue Jdownloader2 torbox

I am trying to download a series (multiple files) using jdownloader2 and torbox.

It works for a download or two and then stops. It'll restart after a couple of minutes, i have a feeling it's probably ddos protection, but I wanted to check if anyone else has this behavior.

I didn't have this issue when I was using a different debrid service.

Edit: wanted to add that I have chunk and simultaneous downloads set to just 1 for both.

The reason for that is because Torbox's generated download links are only valid for only 3 hours. So if it takes you more than 3 hours to download those one or two files, the link for the next one will have expired by then, and you have to generate another one from your dashboard.

Thanks for the reply, but it's not that. I generated the link and immediately used jdownloader2 to start downloading. It works for maybe 2-3 downloads and then paused for a good minute or two. And then it downloads one or two again, and then another pause. All this within an hour of generating the link

I used to face the same . It's mostly to do with the API . It restricts number of file requests mostly bot protection or some limitation to keep service healthy for all users. Heck I even got 429 too many requests error .

That's what I figured. Thank you for confirming!
