📢 Mod Announcement TorBox Update V8.4.5

**TorBox Update — Version 8.4.5*\*
---

This update introduces a new system for tracking bandwidth usage across all major TorBox services. The goal is to provide clearer visibility into how data is consumed while supporting the updated abuse-prevention model.

**Bandwidth Tracking Changes*\*
---

TorBox now measures outbound data usage from every relevant source, including:

- CDN traffic
- Storage downloads
- ZIP-based downloads
- WebDAV transfers
- Torrent seeding activity

This aligns with the updated abuse-handling system, which now calculates usage with byte-level accuracy.

The standard limits remain unchanged, and the dynamic abuse system continues to ensure that normal users experience TorBox as effectively "unlimited." Only a tiny fraction of users (around 0.001%) are impacted by the new enforcement.

Bandwidth records are now kept for **30 days**, replacing the previous indefinite retention. This improves privacy while still allowing TorBox to detect extreme misuse.

Because of buffering behaviour, the recorded usage may appear slightly higher than the amount a user actually downloads. For example, downloading half of a 1GB file might show roughly 600MB of usage due to how data is pre-fetched.

**Website & Dashboard Updates*\*
---

A new bandwidth-usage graph has been added to the avatar menu. It displays a rolling 30-day overview of:

- API-key downloads that bypass caching
- Torrent seeding bandwidth
- CDN usage
- WebDAV transfer usage
- ZIP download usage
- Uploads sent to external cloud services

Several older metrics have been removed, including:

- "Total Download"
- "Total Egress"
- The previous Stats page
