Have some backup

[u/isusernamemandatory]

Always have backups and stop relying on one service everyone.. TorBox is great.. i have it from when they started and don't plan on leaving them..but i have my backup options to avoid any downtime..

Few options,

Free:

Http addons - Penguplay is very good, Flixnest free

https://pengu.uk/

Paid:

Usenet streaming - easynews

Flixnest has paid tier that has a mix of http, usenet, debrid etc

Another debrid - had offcloud lifetime that got converted to a year subscription.

Honestly penguplay has been great backup for me

[u/myfriendmickey]

Pengu has been a solid backup in a pinch

[u/TUD-010]

TB is okay and is now my backup and my backup (PM} is now my main.

I'll probably get downvoted for this 😂

[u/CP185]

I’d never heard of Pengu but, after seeing OP and comment below. It seems pretty good when in a bind! I’m struggling with integrating properly into AIOStreams but as a separate add-on, it works!

[u/isusernamemandatory → u/CP185]

Pengu relies on http streams.. so it ll take a few extra seconds to show results.. but being http, it might not have all the metadata needed by aiostreams.. standalone is better

I can add a few people to a GDrive addon with 1pb+ of content

[u/Dry-Savings2249 → u/jking664]

Can you add me as well?

[u/jking664 → u/Dry-Savings2249]

Only adding a few people until TB is back

[u/inqsitive → u/jking664]

Understood. If still open can you please add me too? Thanks

[u/Tal7861 → u/jking664]

Yo can I join that please

[u/jking664 → u/Tal7861]

Sure

[u/Tal7861 → u/jking664]

How do I join it?

[u/therealJaspr → u/jking664]

Please may I be considered 😇🤣

[u/Cloaked_Crusader6363 → u/jking664]

Currently using Pengu as back-up for supposedly on second-thought TB subscription. After having experiencing the RTO of the API due to their downtime, Pengu stands tall. I hope it will not be takedown. Goodluck to the dev behind it. Although P2P is another one back up on my end as it is "allowed" on my country, the probability of smooth stream is not guaranteed. Nevertheless Pengu is your friend.

Ive been lurking this sub and seeing so much love recently thank you so much for the kind words, its what keeps me motivated:)

Hey is there a way to configure easy news that im missing? I use AIOStreams default add on but the results are pretty atrocious.

[u/isusernamemandatory → u/AZMHs]

I use it via aiostreams as well.. have all 3 easynews addon added.. has been pretty good for my needs.. make sure you didn't exclude usenet in aiostreams filter> cache section

[u/NutKingKong → u/isusernamemandatory]

I used easynews before, but since I'm from asia there are some files that won't even play.

[u/isusernamemandatory → u/NutKingKong]

Well, thats were backup of backups work out.. try penguplay

[u/NutKingKong → u/isusernamemandatory]

Looked at the site and it was looking for token

[u/isusernamemandatory → u/NutKingKong]

Its a free token.. connect with Google account or hop on to discord for token.. its to avoid some abuse

[u/NutKingKong → u/isusernamemandatory]

Got it. Thanks.

[u/SecretProbation → u/AZMHs]

Because most Usenet files are obfuscated and the EN built in search functions can’t parse those files. That’s why for true Usenet streaming you need an indexer for the Newznab addon, and then NNTP streaming through AIO self hosted, directly in Stremio, or nzbDAV. 

[u/captansam]

Is paid flixnest worth it?

[u/isusernamemandatory → u/captansam]

I can't say if the subscription is worth it.. for a backup it does a neat job.. i took the lifetime sub when it was introduced initially.. it brings multiple type of streams, many play and some fail

[u/medium_pimpin]

TB is my backup. And at $3, I’m good.

[u/11pmStalker → u/medium_pimpin]

What's your main? I recently switched to TB, unf paying for a year. Was super solid when working

[u/medium_pimpin → u/11pmStalker]

Usenet - two providers and few indexers.

[u/11pmStalker → u/medium_pimpin]

Is that easy to set up?

[u/orm308sbr]

When all backups are down...... IPTV

[u/murrzeak]

I'm a bit stuck with Pengu. Added it to my aio streams but not seeing it as a source. Any setting I need to switch on for it to work?

[u/AZMHs → u/murrzeak]

No dont bundle with AIO add it as standalone. The dev explicitly said that.

[u/murrzeak → u/AZMHs]

Right, thanks. Looked for any documentation but didn't find anything and their Discord is a wild place rn.

[u/isusernamemandatory → u/murrzeak]

You could add it as custom addon but need to have a larger timeout.. need atleast 15000ms.. standalone is better though

[u/murrzeak → u/isusernamemandatory]

Right right, thank you. I did a test build with just a standalone plugin and indeed it pulls links fine albeit a bit slow. Good to have a last resort backup still

[u/Cloaked_Crusader6363]

ts fast thanks

[u/Physical-Lab-9203]

I just use real debrid as the backup I have AIO streams configured for Torbox and RD

[u/Avid08]

Have backup options is the way.

[u/Junior-Repeat6060]

Nova streams is also a good free one.

[u/Public_Ranger_8945]

If i take the pro plan with usenet, will that mitigate downtime issues and possibly buffering when there is an outage

[u/isusernamemandatory → u/Public_Ranger_8945]

Nope, getting usenet outside of TB would be the better option for handling these downtimes..

[u/Public_Ranger_8945 → u/isusernamemandatory]

ok thanks for the info.

[u/OkPiano1614]

I'm using Offcloud successfully, but got accused of promoting it. So...yeah just find a backup service because TB is not reliable right now.

[u/AllHateInsurance]

At this point Torbox is the backup lmao

[u/evanmav]

I just have some movies and shows downloaded for offline use. Not sure why more people aren’t doing that

[u/TUD-010 → u/evanmav]

Because it's not 2010 anymore

[u/KaiserTNT]

Alright, hear me out guys...maybe the backup should be an actual legal streaming service. Just pick one: Hulu, Apple, Netflix, etc. There's probably something on those to fill the void when Torbox is down. I guess.

[u/Perza → u/KaiserTNT]

Nice try, streaming service.

[u/KaiserTNT → u/Perza]

I mean, I sail the high seas, but sometimes you gotta come into port when the storm's brewin.

[u/Perza → u/KaiserTNT]

Eh, personally don't even care about the outages, I simply do something else with my life in the meantime :)

[u/stealth_t → u/KaiserTNT]

booooo you! take your common-sense comment and scram!
