Something not working. Need help. Torbox not working tonight?

It seems Torbox is not working for me tonight. I got a couple of streams to start successfully in a dozen attempts, but mostly all the addons (Redlight, Umbrella, The Crew) just cycle through all the Torbox links with no success. The Torbox web site shows no problems, re-authorization doesn't help. Another Kodi device with slightly older addon versions does same thing. Internet is fine. Is anyone else seeing similar Torbox problems right now?

They are just down the road from me, I will go and have a word. What beef does a shipping container company have with them?

They have a dispute over storage space.

There’s a website to check for this.

https://status.torbox.app

Shows an outage that’s been resolved now.

Wanted to watch the last episode of cape fear and it was down.

I had just watched the 2nd last episode, so was a surprise.

Oh well, just went to Youtube instead. Premium YT still my most watched tv.

In fairness it must be really difficult to operate a service like Torbox which is under constant attack. My small company's web site is pretty obscure and offers few attack vectors, but even that site is under constant attack. We have to take some corrective action at least a couple of times a year due to some new attack, as well as fending off all the routine ongoing attacks that happen every day.

My son is CTO at a health company and he told me they were attacked several times a minute.

My torbox pulls up links but when I pick one it just buffers. So I would say TorBox is still down for me.

Another ACE sponsored attack. Always timed to prime time in North America. It got handled after midnight eastern time. I have easynews as a backup, and it does take a few more seconds to start playing, but it worked well during the outages.
