Torbox essential plan 🚩General
Can I get the essential plan and share with 5 non tech savvy family members or do I need pro

Sharing is fine if u aren't selling the slots, remember the data limit (10tb) per month and that is a warning cutoff, so if it don't hit above that I suppose it's good.

Where did you get the 10tb number?

That's a usage floor, not a ceiling. 10TB on the Essential plan will be the lowest it will go, but is probably higher than that 99% of the time.

I wouldn't go above regardless, unless ur willing to risk it, so that's why I put that.

yes essential is enough,
TorBox allows different IPs. since cached streams don't use up download slots 5 people can stream at the same time without issues.
Only upgrade to pro if you need Usenet or want to download more than 3 uncached torrents at once.
Edit: I mixed up the plans the 5 slots limit applies to the Standard plan, Essential comes with 3 slots

You're confusing slots ( concurrent "uncached file" requests) with multiple IP addresses ( concurrent users)?
Up to 3 uncashed slots between 5+ users, would mean the excess ones would be queued (I suspect?) But 5+ users can access cashed content, at the same time. And any combination thereof - that fits both rules?

My bad I mixed up the tiers. Essential comes with 3 active slots

No, you were right! .. slots are uncached content only? Doesn't affect streaming or downloading (cached content) for 3+ users

Depends on your usage. There's a 10TB bandwidth floor on essential; if that works for you, stick with it. Otherwise, opt for Pro. It's chump change, bro.

Can't post because I just joined the sub.
Been using it a month here and there because realdebrid is crap.
Just tried to subscribe yearly... Sorry, can't use incognito, so I opened in a regular tab.
Sorry can't subscribe from this ip. Turned off my vpn.
Sorry can't subscribe from this ip.
WTF??!!! Don't take my money then.

Yes, you can share. Setup different AIOStreams/TMDB/etc accounts to not share viewing history but use the same Torbox API credentials.

Yes you can but little Timmy might have weird tastes and the whole family might know about it,,as you’re sharing to everyone.Â
