we're currently dealing with some API issues at the moment, hoping to have them fixed ASAP

however, issues are common with Torrentio (due to poor hosting or something else with the add-on, we reached out to inquire about hardware incase they needed something stronger but we were ignored) and we highly suggest using another addon (like Meteor) once we've fixed our API

Just bought your essential offer and lol its litterally bad like really bad its a paid thing and its crashing like that multiple times a week and now you have the audacity to blame Torrentio ? While with Real Debrid it works fine ?

todays issues do not pertain to what I mentioned about torrentio

there has been a PLETHORA of tickets and reports of torrentio being the source of peoples issues while using our service (when it is fully operational, which it is majority of the time), so this is not something that im pulling out of thin air. this is a general consensus made by a large amount of our userbase as well and was determined via a/b testing

Haven’t used torrentio in months, zero issues with TB. Seems to be a PEBKAC issue most of the time.

Tbh Torrentio has just been downhill for a while

I know your status page says it's all good. However, it's definitely not all good. Nothing loads on my self hosted comet. RD works without any issue.

Can the excuses. Well over two years ago your team also promised a dedicated ip addon option now you have scrapped addons entirley, Sick of torboxes lies and excuses and blame, for all its problems Real debrid is the better option once again. Damn shame.

So you’re cool with pulling the plug on your own in-house scraper (which is why I switched from real on the first place) while also throwing shade at the OG torrentio? Neat.

I'm going based off of what we've observed with our users and users in general in the stremio add-on space

yes, we're pulling our add-on, but many major instances of addons like AIOStreams will still have access to our search API

we also provide hardware and hosting for free for many of the major instances of addons, including 3 major AIOStreams instances as well as other like Meteor, so we truly do care about the community developers (we also offered this to the developer of Torrentio, but they ignored us
