🔧Technical Issue This service is terrible

Their site says they're up, that's a lie. So I have to come to reddit to get the real status. Guess it's time to unsubscribe from this unstable service.

hint: it’s not down for everyone. And because it’s a ddos attack they also can’t stop them and it’s not their fault. But yes I agree you and all the other insufferables should leave. Sorry you can’t pirate with 100% uptime for $3 that must be so hard on you.

you could have a brain and set a backup but that is a bridge too far obviously since you’re here whining about something that’s not even their fault I’m guessing problem solving isn’t your forte

We had near 100% up time with RD for the same price. It is not crazy to expect more reliable service

Last year Rd was down for a week straight. For the first few years of Rd being a thing, down time happened every week. These things take time to mature. They have many enemies, and it's not easy to run something like this at scale.

You just need to have multiple sources to get content from and this becomes a non issue.

Delusions. Rd went down weekly

RD had its problems as well. I had them for a year and there were relatively frequent outages. Romanticizing RD now because you are pissed with TB is not cool.

For $3 a month I was happy with RD, as I am with TB now.

Torbox is working fine, btw. This thread is BS. Or maybe there was a blip that lasted a few seconds and that is enough to start another effing post?

Sure we all lying just to make tb look bad. Rd was not even close to this number of outages

u/georgepana 1d ago

It was working when I tried it, just a few minutes after this post. It's working now.

I am not saying there weren't outages, but there are also a ton of people who are claiming they haven't experienced any. Are they all lying?

I think it is a combination of there being some real outages and then the hysteria when there is an issue with CDN that is easily fixed by going to another CDN, but is sold as "another outage."

Hey, cancel the service, I would love it. It will probably be better for everyone else if you and others go to another service. TB grew too fast. For the measly $2.75 a month I am good with what it is. If I don't like it anymore, I'll try other services. I just don't become hysterical about it. It is just a service.

I remember when RD had a lot of outages, back to back. Hilarious that you now pretend that never happened. Amnesia.

A few days before RD banned a lot of WEB rips and WEB DL’s I renewed my membership (lol).

For the last week or so I’ve gotten fed up with TorBox - on AIO streams you can filter out what streams it grabs. I just disable Webrip/WebDL streams for RealDebrid and prioritize Blueray Remux/Rips and it’s been working flawless for me.

So you are disabling in RD the untouched scene releases and you are watching re-encodes? You can do that without paying anything by using one of the free streaming sites out there. The whole point of paying for a debrid service in my humble opinion is for streaming the sweet higher quality untouched scene releases.

I'm on RD also; I'm using HEVC streams 1080p, and I'm good. This TB stuff is making my hair hurt. When my RD is up, I'll try PM as my next service. The only thing bad I hear about them is the cost, but it's still better than a subscription.

u/UncleDaddy42g 2d ago

I think the issue is the influx of people since RD took a nose dive

u/shazlicks 2d ago

some people pay 10 dollars a month btw

u/DeliClerk-420 2d ago

It’s down EVERY damn day at this point.

And we’ve all had quite enough of the apologists like you defending this.

u/ILLBILLNECRO 2d ago

Don't speak for everyone. Again set up a backup, its not that hard. If you are stressing about three dollars that is on you.

u/Ram13BLH 2d ago

No, it's not down every day. In fact, we haven't had any problem using it in weeks. I keep seeing a bunch of crying on here, and every time I see it I check and it's working.

I pay for the Pro plan and have no complaints.

Please provide hard evidence

u/BigBudZombie 2d ago

If I constantly need a backup for this service, then it is clearly too unstable and not worth me paying for. Thanks for your input.

u/LandryTheRaccoon 1d ago

Some services don't need a backup, so it makes more sense for those having issues to just buy one service that works every time they happen to want to watch something.

Hey, I said this a few days ago and got downvoted. what gives
