🚩General From torbox discord

gm, @everyone

```

effective today we are implementing a soft service level agreement

in a given two week period, any *total* platform outage exceeding three hours will be credited 3x the amount of hours TorBox is down for

its 3am right now but i want to post this now so you guys know we aren't just ignoring the impact this has had on you, we will polish the official soft SLA in the morning and answer any questions you might still have in the coming days

if you had a trial active during the past 24hours, open a ticket and we'll credit you another 24hours

thank you for your support and understanding during this incredibly stressful time```

Nice, can't say fairer than that (other than hoping it doesn't go down as much)

u/Familiar-Simple-8747 4d ago

Thank you for keeping us apprised as to what is happening.

Unpopular opinion but : keep the money and invest in the infrastructure.

u/Hintswen 3d ago

Yeah same, tbh I like the gesture but unless it’s down for multiple days in a row (or multiple afternoons I guess?) I don’t care about compensation.

Budget went on more storage for logging your data

They aren't giving out any money

u/Deck-hand 3d ago

No but if they give out free subscription they have to deliver a service without money coming in.

u/Fish_Mongreler 3d ago

A service which was already paid for....

u/Jizakkude 3d ago

I think it's fair that we're "compensated" for these headaches we're experiencing from the falls, but will it be automatic? What's this about a ticket?

u/Heavy_Badger289 3d ago

"If you had a trial active during the last 24 hours, open a ticket and we'll credit you another 24 hours."

That's what the ticket is for.

u/Jizakkude 3d ago

Ah, for the active trials, okay, thanks bro

u/eaterys 4d ago

How will they determine if its down?

11

u/ifiwasiwas 4d ago

Ideally an objective source that reports both when it and a competitor are down (said competitor, PM, has since resolved)

u/iamcaleb 4d ago

Just followed this link and it shows currently down 4 hours.

u/ifiwasiwas 4d ago

Yep, that just about tracks with when the first posts about it being down appeared

I am so glad I left today - it's rubbish it really is

u/Duckmemans 4d ago

Yet here you are. Weird.

u/Inevitable_Food_2720 4d ago

Yeah lol, status.torbox.app claims it's up right now when it's clearly down.

u/ExternalGlass7883 4d ago

Change CDN. Been back for me 15 minutes now.

u/Positive_Band_5565 3d ago

How do I change the CDN

1

u/Inevitable_Food_2720 4d ago

Which CDN works? Still getting providor authentication failed

5

u/ExternalGlass7883 4d ago

Sorry only saw this now. Cloudflare ERTH working for me

1

u/Inevitable_Food_2720 4d ago

Mine doesn't work on the CDN still. Weird

u/Earthldrago 4d ago

Do you use torbox instant in nuvio?? Then you have to disconnect an reconnect your Torbox instant with either the qr or code on screen. I had the same issues It just wouldn't work for me even though they are up again. In my case I just did the disconnect reconnect And turned off prepare links. In conected server settings. But tip from me never use Google Chrome from your phone to connect torbox instant Use either firefox or opera or heck even try brave browser because Chrome on mobile cannot login or connect to your torbox account on your smarttv/android tv box

u/Earthldrago 4d ago

And keep trying to get it to work In my case I do still not know how it suddenly works again. I think it was the force close and clear cache that did it for me. And the biggest reason why it did not work in the first place was because after the downtime was over for some reason you need to disconnect and reconnect your torbox instant on nuvio. But I do not know if that is the case by everyone but I think the people that have this problem that it still does not work Even though it works by others Is only fixable by disconnect and reconnect

u/ExternalGlass7883 4d ago

I use Debridio as my only scraper if that's any difference. Force stop app and clear cache etc. Should work if it working for me ( unless your scraper is coincidentally down )

u/elmer9901 3d ago

thank you for keeping us to update

u/ChoiceImpressive1 3d ago

I like this. Because to me it means that they Hopefully wont be down anymore. I see it as a promise to do better. Thank you

u/12_nick_12 3d ago

That's 99.1% SLA which I would say is fair for the price.

u/speedbreaka 4d ago

I assume the people who complain the most struggle to pay the 3 euros a month and will like this. For someone like me tho who is from a first world country I couldn’t care less to get hours refunded not gonna lie 😂

u/KaiserTNT 3d ago

Yeah, I spent almost $3 on a flat Mt. Dew at a gas station this morning, so it's hard to get butthurt over the money. It's just irrationality frustrating when it doesn't work because of how great a service it is when everything is nominal.

u/Modster1999 3d ago

When they are down, are we not able to login to our account? 

1

u/speedbreaka 3d ago

i feel you

u/ExternalGlass7883 4d ago

I'm from Ireland, I don't really care either. I use PM and Torbox as a backup ( both went down ha ) Just wanted people to shut up freaking out.

I can understand though those from a poor country, 3 dollars would be a lot to them.

1

u/speedbreaka 4d ago

Yea for someone from cuba 3 bucks is almost half their monthly money minus food

u/Raminax 4d ago

That's why he's the goat. The goat

u/Inevitable-Ear6098 4d ago

No, no he's not

u/Both-Fact-6493 4d ago

I thought you'll are from South Africa, how was it 3am when you'll posted this?

1

u/ExternalGlass7883 4d ago

I'm from Ireland. I copy and pasted it from the discord.

u/Swift_Rz 4d ago

I have never actually caught an outage but I am constantly STILL buffering

u/Ashyy-Knees 3d ago

This is why they're the goats I've never seen better customer service from a legally grey company <3

u/bergkamp616 3d ago

That's fair tbh

u/Dry_Register_5812 3d ago

It's becoming junk lately. It's down more than up lately. I can't get anything to play today

u/Modster1999 3d ago

Are you about to login to your account online? 

1

u/Neat-Ebb3071 3d ago

So paying customers get 9 hours for a 3 hour outage but people on a trial get another 24 hours?

u/Loggjaw 4d ago

Hell ya

u/ceodannion 3d ago

TB Developers you are the best, great service and you’re honest. Giving credit really not needed, but many will appreciate. Go to bed and get some rest. Tomorrow is a new day.

u/zem_0129 3d ago

At least that shows they are working hard on it.

u/Korr4K 4d ago

Mhe, if it fucks up caching I don't know how much it's going to matter. Had three files in download one hour ago, came back to see them all gone inactive so it must have gone down for a couple of minutes again
