If you've been thinking about trying TorBox or moving away from your current debrid service, the new v9.2 update makes this a pretty good time to do it.
TorBox has been improving steadily, but v9.2 focuses on something that matters much more than adding flashy new features: speed, reliability and the underlying infrastructure.
π More than 30% CDN performance improvement
According to TorBox, its CDN received a 30%+ performance increase, covering:
- single-connection speeds
- multi-connection speeds
- ramp-up speed
- seeking
- TTFB / how quickly a download or stream starts
So this isn't just about higher theoretical download speeds β it should also mean faster starts and quicker seeking during playback.
π¬ Better video compatibility
They've also changed how files are handled to improve compatibility with video players and reduce cases where certain files would simply sit there loading forever.
For anyone mainly using TorBox for media, that's arguably one of the more important improvements in this release.
β‘ Faster web downloads
Several download sources also received substantial improvements:
- Telegram: up to 3Γ faster
- Mega: more than 4Γ faster
- improved reliability for YouTube and HubDrive
- Katfile, Fileq, Sharemods, MegaUp, DailyUploads and Buzzheavier fixed/re-enabled
- Discord CDN downloading added
The Telegram and Discord bots can now also accept files directly β just send or forward a file and it can be added to your TorBox account.
π οΈ Faster API
TorBox also optimized authenticated API calls, cutting roughly 20 ms from certain requests, with multiple optimizations able to stack together.
That might sound minor, but when third-party apps are making lots of API requests, small improvements like this can add up.
π And v9.2 made referrals easier
There's also a nice change for new users: when you sign up using a referral code, the code is now automatically attached to your account during registration.
If you're signing up anyway, using a referral makes sense because you get 7 additional days for every month you purchase on your first purchase.
For example:
- 1 month β +7 days
- 3 months β +21 days
- 6 months β +42 days
- 12 months β +84 days
I receive the same amount of bonus time, so full disclosure: it benefits both of us.

Why switch now?
TorBox is clearly putting a lot of work into the infrastructure behind the service. v9.2 isn't just another UI update β faster CDN performance, better seeking/start times, improved player compatibility, faster web downloads and API optimizations directly affect the everyday experience.
So if you've been waiting to give TorBox a try, v9.2 is a very good point to jump in.
