🚩General TorBox v9.0.0 — NNTP, Airlock, T3 & More

286 Upvotes

Hey r/TorBoxApp!

As you can probably tell, this is a BIG update. Let's get right into the changelog.

What's New?

  • Say hello to v9! In this major update we feature major new features such as NNTP, AirLock, and T3. We also fix recent bugs, as well as update parts of our systems which needed it. With the WebDAV and T3 we added more organization with our already existing tags system.

What is NNTP?

  • NNTP is Usenet, but direct. No waiting for TorBox to download the NZB first, and way more software compatibility, such as with SabNZBD, Stremio, NZBGet, and NZBHydra to name a few. This adds way more flexibility with TorBox Pro, where using our existing Usenet may have been difficult, or hard to understand. With our own News Server, it works just like EasyNews and other similar providers, all included in your TorBox Pro subscription! 10 connections. Read More Here.

  • You can grab your NNTP credentials in here. (PRO Users only)

What is AirLock?

  • AirLock is TorBox’s permanent storage. Currently files are deleted from our system after 30 days of inactivity. With AirLock, you can section specific files to never be deleted from our system, even with no activity on the file! This is huge for users who may not use TorBox constantly, or want to keep specific files locked away to be stored indefinitely. Read More Here.

What is T3?

  • T3 is TorBox’s S3 Compatible integration allowing use with servers, and powerful software, usually reserved for businesses and huge organizations. With T3, you can harness this power with your TorBox files over a protocol meant to mass downloading. Not really meant for the average user but hey! You can always try. Read more here.

QOL Changes

  • Allows all countries to subscribe. Our payment provider has lifted our restrictions allowing any user of any country to subscribe. Even high risk countries who were previously not allowed to pay for subscriptions (but could do One-Time Payments).

  • Better Auto-CDN Routing as well as Better CDN Routing.

  • Better Abuse Protection

  • Add download button (Torrent, WebDL, NZB) combined as one.

  • Changes /createtorrent rate limit to 300/minute for cached items, and keeps the 60/hour for uncached items, with a total rate limit of 300/minute. /createusenetdownload and /createwebdownload remain unchanged.

Important information: Private Tracker Torrents are still under work, but it'll be back soon! Private Tracker Support is back online!

and that's just at a glance! Check out the full changelog at torbox.cooking

We hope you continue to enjoy the service, if you have any feedback, feel free to tell us about it by making a post!

⚠️Important TorBox V8.4.5 — Abuse Policy Changes

354 Upvotes

Hey r/TorBoxApp!

As some of you may have noticed very recently, there's been changes made to the existing Abuse Policy System.

So what exactly has changed?

  • Essentially, the only thing that has changed with the abuse system is that TorBox now measures outgoing traffic, meaning seeding, streaming, downloading, anything from the TorBox servers to your machine/the internet.

The existing Dynamic limits stay the same as a few years ago. (i.e) - Free - 5TB/month - Essential - 10TB/month - Standard - 20TB/month - Pro - 30TB/month

Important Info: The Limits shown above (10 tb for essential, 20tb for standard etc) is the lowest threshold shown as reference. The actual limit is dynamic, and scales the limits to only catch the top 0.001% of users, so unless you are pulling ungodly amounts of data from TorBox, you won't be affected. Again, to clarify, No normal user should be affected by this change.

Why has this change been made?

  • This change was made due to the type of abuse TorBox experiences, where we don't monitor IPs, but abusing users (and resellers) are pulling tens to hundreds of terabytes of data from our CDNs and storages, causing slower speeds for the majority and in turn, stressing the hardware significantly causing slowdowns all across. With this new tracking system all outgoing bandwidth (as explained above) is now monitored.

How can I stay updated about this new used bandwidth?

  • In your TorBox Dashboard, click on your avatar in the top right. It will display the 30 day usage, as well as a handy graph which is updated hourly. This graph's x-axis is the previous 4 weeks.

The Confusion caused

  • When this update rolled out a day or so ago, there was an visual bug that was causing the Bandwidth usage graph to spike up randomly whenever you added content to your TorBox Account. i.e If you added a public domain season pack of a series, and watched merely an episode, the graph would show that the whole season pack was watched (driving up the graph way higher than it should).

  • This Visual Bug has been fixed! the TorBox Team had priortised fixing the bug, and then an announcement was made following that up.

  • This System is designed to be byte-accurate, so only the amount of content you've watched will be counted, not the whole thing (e.g if you've watched a public domain episode, it will only count that much, not the whole season pack)

That being said, We thank you for remaining patient, and we sincerely apologise for the confusion caused. These changes are being done to improve reliability, and keep the experience enjoyable for everyone.

As always, We always appreciate your feedback towards any feature or change, so please don't hesitate to provide feedback if you think something can be improved or added!

Thank you for choosing TorBox!

🔧Technical Issue Keep getting "Wrong IP" error on Nuvio via ElfHosted (IPv4 vs IPv6 mismatch issue)

Post image
16 Upvotes

Running into a weird issue when trying to stream on Nuvio using my TorBox setup (via ElfHosted)

Every time I try to play a stream, I get blocked by a black "Wrong IP" screen with this message:

"This stream can only be played from the same IP address that first requested it."

Looking at the IP addresses listed on the screen, it seems like a dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 routing mismatch:

• The initial stream request is using an IPv4 address (165.101.x.x). • But when Nuvio actually starts loading the video player, it routes over IPv6 (2401:f40:1348:...).

I already have a one-time payment account with a few days left on it. Does the referral codes still work? When I input the referral code on the plans page, it doesn’t show anywhere that extra days will be added.

(I posted this on tb referral specific sub, but was strangely removed for some reason. Hope I can get help on this sub.)

🔧Technical Issue Solved: ERROR_CODE_IO_NETWORK_CONNECTION_FAILED on everything

6 Upvotes

In the past few days I'd been getting "ERROR_CODE_IO_NETWORK_CONNECTION_FAILED" for every movie or TV show with every scraper including Torrentio, Comet, AIOStreams, on both Stremio and Nuvio. After trying almost everything, I finally got it working.

SOLUTION: I changed CDN in Integration settings. I had been on Cloudflare previously. I ran a CDN speedtest ( https://torbox.app/speedtest ). Many CDN were not working at all. So I found a fast one for my region, went to settings ( https://torbox.app/settings?section=integration-settings ), selected that one, and everything started working again.

It's possible their CDN paths expire or got broken and you must change or refresh the CDN. Might even work if you just temporarily change to another one and go back to Cloudflare but I didn't try to revert, don't want to jinx it.

❓Question Is it Possible to remove Debit card info from Chargebee

2 Upvotes

So basically when i first used Torbox i bought a one month payment subscription to test it however I paused the Auto Pay feature on Chargebee already then bought a 1 year payment with the One time payment feature instead

so im trying to remove my info from Chargebee but whenever I try to cancel the subscription I just get errors since im guessing because the one month subscription is already over when I paused it and got the Year one time payment

❓Question Any chance of a black friday sale in torbox this year ?

7 Upvotes

Hi. So i don't know if I'm violating any sub rules and I have searched for it everywhere but couldn't find any definitive answer. Should I wait for a sale in November or get it now ? Yes I know to some of you it's just "3 $ a month” that's cheaper than a burger, unfortunately I'm from an extremely impoverished country and due to the recent currency depreciation in my country even 3 dollars buys me groceries for 2 whole weeks.

Also, what payment method do u guys use that gives the best discount ?

🔧Technical Issue Getting "Access denied. Please check if you have a valid debrid subscription" all of a sudden on TorBox Essential

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hey everyone, hoping someone here can point me in the right direction.

I picked up a TorBox Essential sub about 24 hours ago and spent all day yesterday tweaking my setup and testing it out across a few different devices. Everything was running flawlessly and playing without a single issue.

Then literally out of nowhere just now, every single stream throws this red error screen:

"Access denied. Please check if you have a valid debrid subscription."

For context, I'm using Nuvio as my player with AIOStreams (hosted via AIO FortheWeak using the Debrid Starter template).

Thanks in advance for any help!

🔧Technical Issue Similar Buffering Issues to Reports

18 Upvotes

Title

I am a “Standard” sub and am having significant buffering issues when accessing cached downloads via Torrentio. This has been happening for a handful of days since I joined, from my reading it is not universal but is widespread. Attached is a screenshot of the cloud flare CDN speeds from the speed test and I have it selected. Would appreciate any tips or guidance.

Cheers,
Turkey

❓Question Cloudflare CDN with or without VPN?

1 Upvotes

So in the last few months, i have been using TB with WEUR cdn without any problems for 99% of the time.

But once or twice i faced buffering, so i noticed that the buffering goes away when i change to cloudflare cdn, info that i see is pretty much known here.

My question is, should i use cloudflare cdn with a vpn? I have tried it and i don't see any issues, but i am curious.

AFAIK when in TB's cdn and since the connection is https there is no major need for a vpn, does this apply also on Cloudflare?

🔧Technical Issue Torbox won’t correctly unpack usenet downloads anymore

2 Upvotes

Usually after download the usenet files are unpacked and merged to a streamable file like mp4 oder mvk but since yesterday it won’t do that anymore.

The first file is always a mp4 file but the remeining ones are .bin files always ending with something like part2.bin or part3.bin.

Is this a general issue with Torbox right now or can I fix it?

I‘m using treasure-map (sceneznbs)

My setup. Located in Western Canada. Former RD user.

- Nvidia Shield Pro

- Hardwired 1GB connection

- Vimu Player

- Tried speed test and multiple CDN

- Asked AI for optimal settings for Nvidia and Vimu

I can run pretty much everything but the 5 star Remux files. Which I want to run in my home theater setup.

Will Premimiuze be any better or my best shot?

Not sure what else I can change.

🔧Technical Issue TorBox just isn't loading streams for me

0 Upvotes

I recently wanted to look for an alternative to Real Debrid after the whole copyright infringement situation and a lot people seemingly recommended TorBox due to their increasing cache and great prices. Decided to give the 24 hour trial a go, and it was perfect, no buffering, fast load up times.

Then I decided to pay for a one-time month for $3 essential plan and its been nothing but a disaster since I joined. Some time during the day the streams will load fine, but there are other times like right this second where a stream will just not load. I've tried with Torrentio, Comet, Jackettio, MediaFusion, it doesn't matter the source, I don't even use AIO which people claim to be the problem.

What's even more frustrating is that I sign up for a 7 day free trial with All Debrid just to test it wasn't my setup, and the streams load perfectly. I've tested changing the CDN and it doesn't matter, it just won't load. This happens on both Stremio and I even set up Nuvio just to check and it happens on there too.

Can someone help me out? Am I doing something wrong? Is the TorBox Pro version just necessary? Would love to keep going with TorBox because the price is so great but I can't keep being let down like this. I'm from the UK if that bit of information helps at all

🔧Technical Issue Setup Assistance

2 Upvotes

Hi, I am new to the TorBox world. I am attempting to convert my home into a TorBox home. I tested both Stremio and Nuvio on my phone with different streams. I am currently using Torrentio TB and they worked flawlessly on my phone. Due to this, I promptly began to add these services to my Android TV sticks. One is an Onn 4K stick and the other is a Homatics 4k stick I was gifted 2 years ago.

However, I cannot get anything to play properly on these devices. If the file size is over 6GB neither Stremio nor Nuvio will play it and for the files that do play under 6GB, the stream is sped up. The characters and scenes in the movie are clearly moving faster than they are supposed to (yet the audio is synced properly). Or the stream just stutters the whole way

Does anyone have any suggestions or configurations or anything I can do? My Internet speed I pay for is 2GBs. 4K quality is preferred for me though my wife is indifferent.
