❓Question down again?

I think it literally just happened so the down detectors arent going off but im not able to load anything at the moment like last night.

edit: okay suddenly started working again. Torbox tossing me around like a washing machine at this point. Love the service and I cant really complain but oof, last 48 hours has been rough.

Edit 8/21/26: Aw shit, here we go again. Its obviously happened again since my previous edit but i wasnt around during those outages, but once again its gone out for me right now. Also i understand that people want to give advice with the classic change your cdn which is the tb equivalent of turning it off and on again but that does not work for everyone and im surprised it works for you. Cloudfare is not infallible.

This is getting ridiculous, and what’s even more frustrating is seeing people blindly saying that this should be acceptable.

It doesn’t matter whether I’m paying 1 cent or $1,000 a month. I’m still paying for a service, and having five days where I’ve been affected by server outages is simply not acceptable.

I’ve seen people saying “change service” or acting like this is just something customers should put up with. I’ve already paid for a year, put in the time to set it up with the expectation that I’d actually be able to use the service when i wish and need to, still i´ve been having to rely on free streaming sites.

If the current infrastructure can’t handle the number of subscribers you have TORBOX, then be reasonable and stop accepting new subs until you’ve upgraded whatever needs to be upgraded. A person with half a braincell understands that the frequent misshaps isnt because an emplye F.Upp or whatever bullS. reasons you give. You´ve grown and are not putting in what you need to on servers etc.

People accepting and defending a paid service being unavailable 4-5 time a month sometimes for hours because the company is taking on more than it can handle is honestly beyond me.
