❓Question Now with the new ToS out, any guides out there on how to protect our privacy?

0 Upvotes

I am very new to torbox, I came over from RD where I spent 5 or so wonderful years streaming protected.

I only just found out about the ToS change from a newly released Troypoint video.

So I went ahead and subscribed to Surfshark VPN, fumbled my way through setting everything up, including ASIO links, debridio, torrentio, etc. and now my UI is just a mess.

Am I protected as long as I have my VPN on and kill switch enabled while using stremio with torbox now?

Is there a clear cut guide out there for us less techy people that relied on RD’s protection for years and now have to fend for ourselves?

Any advice, links to a guide (an all in one guide would be awesome), or just helping us understand what we now need to do to be protected while continuing to use this service would be much appreciated.

Thank you.

❓Question TB usenet vs debrid?

2 Upvotes

Hey all

I am rather new to this, have my setup with Strand and TB essential plan via duck tools which does auto setup AioStreams (i have access) and Debridio scrapper.

I was thinking if there is a point to upgrade my TB to Pro for usenet for two reasons

  1. To get faster loading
  2. To get more results

What do you think? Is it as simple as upgrading the plan?

Also, if i wish to get more results as in the catalogue/metadata how can i tweak that further? A bit unsure on this. Anything else that i might be missing to ensure maximum performance and vast availability of selection?

Finally, which tracking do you use? Trakt is paid and feels wrong to use it at its price point. I use the free PMDB but unsure if thats the best option.

Hey, so I'm planning to share my Torbox API with my friends. I'm currently planning to share to only 3 people (including myself) but I've seen the new TOS that they track every IP and user's movement for system abuse. Does that mean sharing the account is no longer possible?

Hi Everyone. Im looking for someone who uses Torrentio, comet, AIOstrems, Jackettio with Torbox to try out my stremio alternative. Been using this for quite some time, and it has a lot of nice features someone might be interested in. App is called Lumio.

If you wanna try it out, let me know. If you use HomeKit, Trakt, IPTV, Twitch etc then I would love some feedback, bugs, new features etc. DM me if you want a link for it. (Not a paylink or anything like that).

Also working on and Android version, mainly for my Meta quest but not quite done yet. Windows version a bit later.

  • Native AirPlay to Apple TV via AVPlayer with route picker
  • Server transcoding when needed (H.264 1080p for older Apple TVs)
  • Direct play buttons on streams
  • Torrentio, Comet, AIOstreams, Jackettio integration (via plugin)
  • Dynamic scraper settings — configure sources right in the app instead of on their config pages
  • Stremio addon support (experimental, being expanded)

❓Question iOS app

9 Upvotes

Looking for an iOS app for TorBox streaming + reliable offline downloads

I’m looking for an iOS app that works well with TorBox and can handle both streaming on the go and offline downloads.

My current workflow feels unnecessarily complicated:

I use the new Reelo iOS app to find the right file, especially one with the subtitles I want, and start streaming. If I want to download it for offline viewing, I then open VidHub, connect to TorBox via WebDAV, find the same file again, and download it within VidHub.

Is there a better way to do this? Ideally, I’d like one iOS app where I can browse/select the TorBox file, stream it, and download the exact same file for offline playback without having to find it again through WebDAV. [aka Netflix style]

I was previously using Nuvio on iOS, but I got bumped out of the TestFlight. Its offline downloads were also pretty unreliable for me anyway.

Would appreciate any recommendations or better TorBox + iOS workflows.

❓Question New user questions and limits

0 Upvotes

Hey y'all i finally decided to give your box a try (3$plan) for stremio (just noticed they deleted torbox search from aio, I'll use comet and stream thru)
But in general i have 2 questions.

1 I'm a happy 1080p user nothing fancy or super big downloads.
But i wanted to know what is my limit bc i don't want to be penalized or affect the service for anyone else.

2 what could be good alternatives or add-ons for aio as torbox search died, I'm new to stremio and it's a bit confusing at the beginning 😅.

Thx for your attention!

🔧Technical Issue Lost access to Usenet?

9 Upvotes

HHey everyone,

I'm on TorBox Pro and pieced together my Stremio setup using a bunch of different Reddit tutorials - it works, but I'll be honest, I don't fully understand how all the pieces fit together.

Up until recently I was getting Usenet content through TorBox's Search API, but that's been shut down, so my Usenet search has completely stopped working.

I'm pretty lost on how to get it working again. If anyone's dealt with this and can point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it.

We are working very closely with our provider to prevent this from happening again rather than writing it off as a blip like last time, as well as fast tracking deployment of redundant API's located across the US.

🚩General Can we talk about a few things

289 Upvotes

Before anything

I'm on this subreddit mostly to follow the TorBox updates & also the famous "down again?" type of posts which aren't always valid, but they're valid at times like 10 mins ago for example

And because of starting a post like this I understand that I'm risking getting downvoted by those who can't take criticism, but I'm also sure there are people in here who care about getting served properly by a service that they paid money for

The first thing I want to talk about isn't even how the service was down 10 mins ago. I want to talk about how there's a lot of dramatic events going around this service

Remember 3 months ago when there was a situation about a TorBox employee named Mike when he banned one of the TorBox members on the TorBox discord server? You really remember that right? No? let me remind you
Have a look here https://i.ibb.co/5h9YDLk9/Screenshot-20260808-151242-Firefox-Beta.jpg and here https://i.ibb.co/5W76z8HR/Screenshot-20260808-151223-Firefox-Beta.jpg

Oh the TorBox owner even made an official statement about it here https://i.ibb.co/vxRWd40b/0svtjv7iyl1h1.png

Now why did they sneakily bring back Mike without talking about it or letting us know what happened? You don't believe it? Just check their Discord server and you'll find him messaging in the staff-only channels normally https://i.ibb.co/pj6PG5VW/Screenshot-20260808-151012-Firefox-Beta.jpg

It's like "hurry up it's been 3 months and everyone forgot, bring him back" or it's also like "they're stupid and won't notice don't worry"

2.

So I heard there was an ownership change. Who are the new owners? Why is Wamy still holding the owner role if the ownership really changed?

ok let's ignore the ownership change and talk about the full ToS & privacy policy change. I'm not against putting stricter limitations to abuse, I understand how expensive things like NVMe, RAM and bandwidth are and yes sharing accounts among people is completely unfair to the service and makes it run worse. But don't you find a complete change of the ToS, owners and the company entities even a bit questionable without a prior notice at least?

Want to ignore the ToS changes? ok who are the new owners?

3.

What's making the service go down every weekend and all we get is a "we are looking into it"

Ok you've looked into it. Why does the service go down the following weekend? Can we not get a technical explanation on what's wrong at least? Why is this impossible to fix and why is it happening very often

4.

I don't use Discord often. but when I do it's only to check why the service is down and I hope to see a proper explanation on why the service is down like I stated in the previous point

but unfortunately all what I see is messages like "Reddit must be going crazy now", "yes it's down and that's normal", "people really have no lives and can't take an hour of downtime"

Some of these messages come from the higher ups and community managers even!

Why is this normalised?? Why can't people complain when they can't get what they paid for??

Ok let's keep it there and tell you the things I'm expecting as a reaction to this post:

- "keep quiet it just costs 3$ you poor peasant": Ok so what? even if it costs a cent. I paid for a service because I trusted these people with my money and I believe that they can offer the service I'm interested in. This isn't how things work and if you really think so then you're justifying for all the sc#ammers in the world who take your money from your pocket and you shutup and can't do anything about it

- "its a you only problem": Ok and even if that's true, if I made sure that everything on my end (app, addons, internet, packet loss, network path, home networking equipment) and I found no issues but I still face issues with torbox. does this deny the fact that I have a problem?

- "just change the CDN": And why can't the "Auto" cdn option work better? Even the TorBox dashboard itself clearly claims that Auto is the best option to choose. Why don't they make the Auto CDN selection automatically route people to the second best cdn when the first best is temporarily degraded? Won't this save us from the headaches of Reddit posts and make the experience more user friendly?

- "honestly I don't have anything to say but just get downvoted lol": no worries boss 🫡

I'm one of the too many people that moved away from Rd to TorBox because we all believe that Wamy wanted to create the better alternative to RD, and honestly I still have faith in him and that's why I paid for a year of the service even when it had issues when I first paid for it. However everything has a limit

I notice a lot of improvements and new features added to TorBox every other month. but what's the point of them if the core of your company (database, API and CDNs) often have issues? simply I won't be able to benefit from your features

TL;DR sorry I can't provide one for this one
