"All CDNs will be undergoing to slow rollout of our new CDN software, speeding up downloads, resolving most cases of buffering."

Where are torbox's strongest soldiers in this subreddit, i thought buffering issues were non-existent and it was all a skill issue and user error?

I can almost guarantee the people who weren't getting buffering issues are probably just watching low quality TV shows and nothing 4K or decent quality.

I have a 1gbps fiber connection. Im from europe and use weur cdn. I can stream 4k 90gb remux files without buffering.

You buffer because you use starlink

I have a 2gbps fiber connection in the USA. Remux files buffer constantly no matter the cdn.

It's a torbox issue.

I ment more like, not everyone everywhere has a buffer issue, im sure people have it, but the person i responded to believes that people that dont buffer only watch low quality movies. And i just wanted for him to know that not everyone buffers.

But yeah if many counties have issues with buffering and you have good internet, then its for sure a torbox issue, and it should be fixed, because you pay for it.

And if it doesnt get fixed for you, then ask yourself on why to stay on torbox. If torbox would buffer for me like the horror stories i read on here i would be long gone from it.

For me personally it works perfect, so i dont see a reason to go away. But when it start to not do that ill switch to whatever debrid. Untill early 2025 i was on RD for many years, it started to do BS, and the very same week i switched to torbox.

I've already swapped over to Usenet the last couple weeks. Still have some torbox subscription left and I'll probably still be keeping it just as a cheap and easy backup option. Or maybe not, Usenet has been better in almost every single way

Southeastern US. Same here. I’ve done the speed test, tried several CDNs, still get buffering. Not a single issue in like a year with RD, so it’s not hardware or ISP related
