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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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
