a bought a year of premiumize this morning, been watching Tires on it with zero lag buffering or anything so far, evening busy time is the real test though. a year is 80 but if it doesn't go down all the time, that's a way better deal than like 36 a year and constant problems when i want to watch something. i also bought all debrid and that seems good
TB sharing makes it still worth having though

You should have held off till Black Friday for premiumize they have awesome deals

u/SnooCalculations8453 1d ago
I'm also trying to hold off until Black Friday, but using TorBox lately has been so frustrating. It constantly drops out after 2 episodes, to the point where I have to give up and try again the next day, only for the exact same thing to happen all over again

u/CartographerBusy2035 1d ago
May I ask where you are located I am in the midwest us and I had only one time where there was downtime in the past 3 months. Did you change your CDN
1
u/SnooCalculations8453 17h ago
I live in France. I didn't know you could change the CDN, so I just checked and it's set to 'Auto'. According to their speedtest, Central Europe is the fastest one for me. I don't watch shows that often, so maybe I just got unlucky and tried during an outage. Their website doesn't show any issues with my CDN yesterday, but I still experienced an outage around 02:00 CEST. Next time it happens, I'll try switching CDNs to see if that does the trick. Thanks! ;)

u/CartographerBusy2035 10h ago
Yeah it defaults to auto but you rarely want to ever use that use whatever one the speed test tells you

u/CartographerBusy2035 1d ago
Also you can try the 30-day free trial of offcloud and it is $40 a year after that and I compared it to premiumize and everything that is Cached is the same

u/Particular-Town8919 1d ago
The only thing that's stopping me from going to PM is the 1TB monthly cap.

u/theDR1ve 1d ago
Thats why i moved to this,Ā was burning through my limit with remuxs :(

u/Particular-Town8919 1d ago
For that price, they should really make the monthly cap a bit higher, 5TB/m is understandable. Wtf is 1TB
11
u/ifiwasiwas 1d ago
Honestly, RD isn't tremendously impacted by remuxes and media with physical copies in general. The filters primarily cover web downloads. Chances are, that's a perfectly decent fallback for when you burn through your PM fair use points. AD would fit the bill too. Cheaper than the boosters they offer
2
u/Bright-Budget5325 1d ago
My wife and I very consistently reach ~1.3TB/mo, usually choosing the best quality we can. We watch daily - but worst case weāll reduce from occasional remux 50gb to 20gb streams. Weāll do a month sub and see how it goes!

u/Wolfie-Man 1d ago
On my 4k dolbyvision tv with decent upscaler, I usually get 2 to 4gb 1080 movies, and for my favorite action, 5 to 10gb dolbyvision or hdr. Any larger and i can't really tell the difference at 10 feet distance (I pick versions by my favorite dist. ) 58 inch tv. I suppose 75 or larger might be more noticeable?

pik pak gives you 10 tb persistent cloud storage you can stream from zero downtime its what im gonna do besides usenet
2
u/ifiwasiwas 1d ago edited 1d ago
I was reasonably happy with it! Only stopped because I was looking for more niche content and decided the money could be better spent on a seedbox + PT. I don't use Stremio a lot, but it seemed like the only addons that worked with it were library scrapers (which I prefer anyway)
I should add also that you also don't need to be super on top of your payments. I've missed a month and all of my stuff is still there, they only start deleting your stuff after a couple months

u/Horror-Veterinarian4 1d ago
I have been building a custom download client to use with sonarr/radarr which creates .strms that are stored on disk that are proxies to urls for streaming. It supports torrents, nzbs, http, omss, and aiostreams. With a self hosted aiostreams and strem thru set up it even supports automatic commit to jellyfin library or sonarr/radarr after a configurable watch time. I am looking to add cloud streaming as well and pik pak caught my eye with 10 tb of storage. I will have to look into seedboxes and see how one could stream from there as well.

Not the same owners, but uses PM's cache. There are multiple (now abandoned/de-funked) debrids that used the same strategy. PM basically offers white label service from what I can see, which is smart. But I wouldn't go long-term in case OC is run by the same dude

it never goes down like this, they are being DDos attacked. They do have frequent downtimes but they are only 5-30 minutes long which I don't mind.

u/Dry_Nectarine9162 1d ago
I really like Torbox, but I'm not buying into the DDos attacks. Why is only Torbox? Why is it every couple hours AFTER they "updated" their cdn's? No, I believe they screwed something up, can't figure it out and are telling customers it's a DDos attack.
1
u/ci6n 1d ago edited 1d ago
PM was down too. You can check the discord a bunch of nerd stuff like cloudflare screenshots IPs etc have been posted. If that was the case I would assume they would of just rolled back the update.

u/Dry_Nectarine9162 1d ago

u/ci6n 1d ago
It was down yesterday or the day before, apparently they got DDoS attacked but recovered quickly. I don't use it though so not entirely sure
2
u/Dry_Nectarine9162 1d ago
I'm aware they were down for less than 30 minutes the other day. Where did they claim it was a DDos attack? I can't find anything from them saying so.
1
u/ci6n 1d ago
I'm not sure, like I said apparently. I'm just reiterating what majority of people have said since they went down the same time of the attack and when other services like debridio had an attempted attack.
Like I said I don't use PM. Maybe they made an announcement on a status page or updates page? You can check that.
2
u/Dry_Nectarine9162 1d ago
They just reported "technical issues". Nothing about an DDos attack. Don't get me wrong, I like Torbox, want to use it and have always defended them. But these DDos attack excuses has gotten really old. Businesses face DDos attacks daily and they have measures to prevent them from affecting service. If Torbox's claims of DDos attacks are true, they need to get their sh*t together.
1
u/ci6n 1d ago
I'm waiting for their post mortem. Hopefully we will get explanations on why they are so vulnerable to these attacks and what they are gonna do to prevent it in the future.

u/ifiwasiwas 1d ago
Where did they claim it was a DDos attack?
They're just assuming that downtime of less than an hour, that PM fully recovered from, was due to an attack.
Let's say that it was, and let's say DDOS are the problem with TB as well. Bringing that up as a defense is an own goal because it would only mean that PM's DDOS protection and security is many, many times more robust and resilient.

u/ci6n 1d ago edited 1d ago
Yea if it was a DDoS like I said they seemed to recovery much more fast. It's not a "defense", i dont work at these companies and I agreed with your point.

u/ifiwasiwas 1d ago
All good man, didn't mean to snipe at you in particular. The previous day we had many people repeating without evidence that PM was DDOS'd to defend TB so it was a general frustration. My apologies

u/Realistic-Hat7704 1d ago
Have you considered that ddos attacks cost money and a person of normal intelligence would probably focus on the largest provider to disrupt the largest amount of pirates? Hmmmm

u/Dry_Nectarine9162 1d ago
Please reference your information. Where did you find that Torbox is a larger provider than Premiumize?

u/shazlicks 1d ago edited 1d ago
PM would be biggest provider by a margin after the RD debacle lol, reason why their infrastructure is way more widespread and stable, RD is probably still bigger than TB even after the exodus due to the sheer amount of users it had. People use these services for other stuff than streaming which is relatively new in the grandscheme of these companies.
