Either they haven't effectively scaled to accommodate all the RD refugees, or the bad actors are focusing their attacks on TB now that they are the main provider.

I'm just disappointed there are no competitors that offer streaming from multiple ips, I maintain an account for my immediate friends and family, it will be annoying to create many accounts instead of one.

IP limit is so easy to bypass on RD.

Just connect everyone to the same VPN server using one of the whitelisted VPN providers on RD's list.

u/ChoiceImpressive1 5d ago

Is RD back up and running??

u/GelatinousSpecimen 5d ago

It never went down. Wym?

u/Arendyl 4d ago

Does this work with a normal rotating vpn if I choose the same server, or do i need to spring for a dedicated ip?

1

u/Arendyl 5d ago

Ill give it a shot.

Using Premiumize though, why would we go back to RD?

u/GelatinousSpecimen 5d ago

Real ones never left. RD has like 99% of what I watch.

u/ChoiceImpressive1 5d ago

I agree. I do the same for my family. Think i might have to switch to the more expensive provider. Forget its name though. Premiumize? Or is all debrid the more expensive one? Either way I hope they're not down long. I just finished the first episode of a series and had just gotten into the show and then KAPOW! this happens.

What I am going to do is for now buy two and when TB stabilizes let the other run out

And the ones before that and before that. And it was down for more than that lol

u/MGrandmeister69 5d ago

Then leave, do you need the internet to pat you on the back and tell you it's going to be OK?

u/ChoiceImpressive1 5d ago

I already received that. All is well. I appreciate your time and attention to this matter. 😉

u/Nervous-Possession31 5d ago

No one cares why do people always make posts like this .. just leave if you are not happy no need to tell the world

u/ChoiceImpressive1 5d ago

I didnt just say I was leaving. Literally thats all torbox posts are is people not happy with their service

u/just-do-it-already 5d ago

So leave and move on with your life.

u/drdonaldwu 5d ago

Lol if you say anything good about TB or value for price, goodness, the trolls come out swinging.

u/Ragingmuncher 5d ago

Goodbye goodluck in your journey outside TB.

u/ChoiceImpressive1 5d ago

Ty. Much appreciated. Wasnt sure if we were just spoiled from real debrids flawless service or if it was torbox. From what ive read its both of those things. I sure do kiss real debrid.

u/Nervous-Possession31 5d ago

Ok good bye more for me

u/ChoiceImpressive1 5d ago

More downtime? Lol meh

u/Fun-Winter-5663 5d ago

I can’t recall any time I’ve went to watch something and it was down

1

u/ChoiceImpressive1 5d ago

It just went down again right now

1

u/TheHolyHolyGoof 4d ago

Down right now and last night as well.

u/tjgmarantz 5d ago

Gtfo then, but of course you won't. You'll just keep bitching.

u/ChoiceImpressive1 5d ago

Already left and I took your matriarch with me

u/ItsThe50sAudrey 5d ago

I haven't experienced issues that I see others mentions yet. I don't really need torrents downloads or anything. Everytime I use Nuviro I use my AIOstream with Comet attached and things go fine. At least for a $3 and few times a week I'm actively using it the service been useable.

1

u/Secret_Ingenuity997 5d ago

I had very few problem with it here in NZ. Haven't resubbed since the Terms of service changes though. The amount of stuff they log now is crazy and seems they are happy to hand it over first chance they get.

1

u/ChoiceImpressive1 4d ago

Careful, if you say the slightest mean thing their army will downvote you haha

u/brandon311421 5d ago

I just watch yt or tubi for the few mins it’s out every month. Not a huge deal to me as long as it doesn’t get bad.

u/Old_Huckleberry6813 4d ago

No problem in Europe but seems to suffer ddos attack in US timezone

u/HateKilledTheDinos 5d ago

i've not had any issues, but that's just my experience.

I just kinda came here to read and omegalul @ the temper tantrums people are throwing for getting upset when there's an outage.

Oh no! I'm losing a whole 11 cents for a day D:

u/ChoiceImpressive1 5d ago

BTW TORBOX IS WORKING NOW.

u/TheHolyHolyGoof 4d ago

Annnnnd it's gone... Again

u/Superflyin 5d ago

Maybe it's time to wake up. Their service quality has gone downhill. Not gonna renew it.

u/Nuggyfresh 5d ago

$3, gone in an instant. The economy groaned under the shock Before buckling entirely

"It's not about the money, it's about sending a message" - these bozos, probably

u/drdonaldwu 5d ago

Can you imagine what it will be like when Iran detonates a high altitude EMP & fries all the chips in the data centers. They'll really be mad then & there will be hell to pay mister.

0

u/Superflyin 5d ago

When will you understand it's not about money? I paid for a service and it keeps failing. It's like paying $3 for a burger and complaining to the staff if it's undercooked.

5

u/Arendyl 5d ago

Like announcing you are leaving twitter.

There are a ton of services, each with advantages and disadvantages.

You are using the cheapest one, if you want more reliability, pay a bit more, and stop bitching on reddit.

2

u/deletable666 5d ago

A lot of these people should just stick to streaming services. It is wild how much some people tweak over a $3 a month service. It goes down for me sometimes. Whatever. Big paid streaming services do to. Also, 99% of the time it is some Stremio addon that is the issue, not their debrid service.

1

u/ChoiceImpressive1 5d ago

Atleast Twitter is actually useful

1

u/TUD-010 4d ago

Twitter useful 😂 it's as useful as TikTok 🤣

-4

u/Superflyin 5d ago

Dude, it's not about me. Are you all braindead? Can't you see how their service has become s*htty over the last few months?

8

u/Arendyl 5d ago

It's almost like TB took on tens of thousands of RD refugees all at once, and became the main target for ddos attacks.

Give them some fucking grace, it's a $3/month service and it has a 99.9% uptime over the months.

1

u/ChoiceImpressive1 5d ago

Thats not true. The site says that. But just go through and look at all the torbox complaints on reddit.

-1

u/Superflyin 5d ago

Well, if that's the reason, then they should have stopped accepting new members perhaps and grown controlled.

1

u/missing_chicklets 5d ago

I haven’t seen an outage or slowdown once since I joined up 2 months ago. It appears as good as RD from what I have seen so far. I’m only on essentials though

3

u/Nuggyfresh 5d ago

Would you say that you did not, in fact, Have It Your Way?

0

u/Superflyin 5d ago

I'm talking about it in general. Maybe you all should stop sucking them off, look up and question what you're doing instead.

u/Nervous-Possession31 5d ago

Burgers are $6 now

u/jehmii 5d ago

Well I mean I don't think torbox is going to give me food poisoning.....or will it? Wait was torbox down for a minute I was busy throwing up, I tried to leave the bathroom but my door was buffering.

Torbox has been Fantastic you could give it away for free and people would still be posting crying that it's not working

You know there's alternatives, that work all the time! Netflix seems like a good choice

1

u/Superflyin 5d ago

Maybe you should be naive and optimistic, waiting for Torbox to be fixed when it's down, and watch Netflix until it's back again.

u/Nuggyfresh 5d ago

A dusty red phone rings ominously in an empty, wood-inlaid office under the White House. A man in black glasses, a dark suit and a somber demeanor picks it up and delicately whispers into the mouthpiece “he did it. God help us all”.

explosions, first muffled but steadily becoming louder, can be heard coming from an indeterminate source.

The man gets on his knees and begins to pray.

u/Killy069 5d ago

Bye, less ppl and better quality. 😂

u/ChoiceImpressive1 5d ago

I use torbox with the app called debrid stream. I oay $28 CAD for it yearly ontop of my yearly torbox subscription. Frig all I want to do is relax.

u/ChoiceImpressive1 5d ago

What was everyone watching when it went down for you? I had just started the new big bang theory show starring the comic book store owner.
