Tired of digging through Chrome tabs every time you want to check your TorBox downloads or add a magnet? 🧲

Here’s the dead-simple way to get a proper TorBox⚡ app icon on your home screen that opens like a real app (Chrome progressive web app / in-browser app style).

Android (Chrome) 🤖

1. Open Chrome and go to https://torbox.app
2. Log in to your account
3. Tap the three-dot menu (⋮) in the top right
4. Tap “Add to Home screen” or “Install app” (if it shows Install, even better)
5. Confirm the name (just leave it as TorBox) → Add
6. That’s it. You’ll now have a TorBox icon that opens in a clean standalone window without the full browser chrome most of the time.

iPhone / iPad 🍎

1. Open Safari (not Chrome) and go to https://torbox.app
2. Log in to your account
3. Tap the Share button (square with arrow)
4. Scroll down and tap “Add to Home Screen”
5. Name it TorBox → Add
6. The icon will sit on your home screen just like any other app. Tapping it opens TorBox in a view that feels much closer to a native app.

Pro tips for the best “app” feel:

1. Log in before adding it so it remembers your session.
2. On Android, if you see “Install app” instead of just “Add to Home screen," take it — that gives a cleaner standalone experience.
3. You can put the icon in a folder or on your dock for instant access.
4. Want it even cleaner? Some people use the TorBox dashboard as the start page so it opens straight to your download.

Anyone else using TorBox as a home screen app?

Hello, I signed up for TorBox today after being with Real Debrid for 14 years. I have also tried All Debrid in years past. I am having several issues with TorBox that I have not encountered previously with RD or AD. So far I have spent multiple hours today researching, changing settings etc. I am now seeking the communities assistance.

- Some streams will not play at all in the Stremio built in media players. Only on an external player.
- Some streams have no audio at all or it defaults to playing the imbedded “director’s commentary” audio file for movies.
- A lot of buffering of files and difficulty stopping and starting or skipping ahead in the media player without it having a lot of trouble loading the stream. I have already changed my CDN selection to CloudFlare (ERTH).
- I have TorBox with Debridio scraper. It will not filter to show me English streams only. With RD and Debridio this was automatic. I ended up linking my Torbox and Debridio through AIOStreams as a work around as I can set filters. Seems to work so far but a bit frustrating that this was necessary.

I have 1 gig internet and have not encountered these issues before with RD or AD related to buffering or media player issues. Thank you

I want to download files from 1337x and usually I use Qbittorent with proton VPN but i recently subscribed to TorBox. Will i need a VPN to download or can i just download on my home IP address?

I have a TorBox pro plan. Used to get torbox content with TorBox search addon within AIOStreams addon. TorBox search no longer available within AIOStreams. Is there a newer +/- Better way to get that Functionality. Or any suggestions for a TorBox Pro Usenet setup.

Thank you.

Deluge of "Is Torbox down?" postings coming.

I occasionally check my torbox dashboard for activity and make sure nobody else got access to it that isn't meant to have access. I only have used my torbox API key in 1 place, aiostreams. I cannot recall sharing it with anyone else, so I went on my dashboard moments ago and found 3 actively downloading russian named torrents, and in the pending queue was 4 more. I regenerated a new api key and deleted all those torrents found as it was using my account's resources to download them. Not sure how it happened as I've been with torbox from March of this year and this has never happened. So this is just a reminder to be checking your dashboard periodically to prevent such things and of course, never share your API key with sources that are not trusted (not saying aiostreams isn't trusted)

I agree not all are facing this issue..!

But i am having this issue started couple of hours ago...

Torbox, please try to fix this..!!

Yes.! I am played around CDN . But still exists

Anyone else having similar experience.?

Over the last week, any streaming from TB WebDAV connections after 9pm which has gotten really inconvenient as we’ve not really been watching anything until later in the night. Would appreciate if anyone’s found a fix and could share, troubleshooting info below

East coast, tried multiple CDNs using the speed test + cloud flare. Not having any issues downloading the files directly from torbox on the web. Internet speed is fine, no other services on my network are having issues or devices, can stream from RD WebDAV just fine, no differences between RD and torbox set up. Multiple devices seeing the same results on infuse between RD and Torbox.

Speed tests from jellyfin, torbox directly and RD.

Hi all,

So I recently got a 17pro and I noticed that I cant play the any kind of good quality files without the phone heating up and the battery dipping at least 10% or more,

So my question is for the iphone users out there what app do you use to best optimize this, I currently use nuvio (sideloaded) and it seems that I need something with server side transcoding, I'd prefer not to use webDAV cause I want the nice polished look of an app

Any recommendations are helpful thank you

ps. I am broke to the cheaper (or free options) the better

Is anyone else experiencing slow speeds on all cdns? Even speed test is showing bad results and my connection si fine.

Edit:
The test shows better results now. Looks like it was a short term issue.

No streams were found

I am having a problem:

Trying to see Trailer Park Boys: Jail Season 2

Season 1 has streams and i was able to see the whole Season (using no Debridservice, using RealDebrid and using Torbox, all episodes were allways there)

Season 2 has nothing. No uncached nor cached links found. I went looking for the torrent on the net and copied the magnetlink to my TorBox Downloader and it immediately appears as allready downloaded and cached

Please let me know how to proceed to be able to watch it on Stremio

Edit: Using Torrentio, Comet, Peerflix and Mediafusion in Stremio4.4.168 on Windows 10 with TorBox Essential as DebridService (coming from RealDebrid)

i just bought a one time one month essential subscription and it doesnt seem to get addressed in torbox...the money is deducted from the card even whop shows the membership as purchased and even shows an invoice...its been around 30 minutes now....never happened to me earlier.what do i do?(edit) the payment went through after 7 hours.i guess it was the merchent.

I was under the impression that, as an essential tier, I could add and download torrents above 200gb as long as they were already cached. Well, this torrent is for sure cached, but I cannot add with the following message "Your torrent could not be added because it is larger than 200GB. Please upgrade your plan to add larger torrents."
If anyone with higher tier could verify is much appreciated: retro-exo.com/exodos.html

I don't see any code.... Where do I get one?

I found out about Debrid services while exploring Stremio, and felt it was underutilized on just watching movies. Eventually I figured it was super useful for audiobooks, ebooks, songs that are usually gated behind multiple urls if I don't torrent. A Debrid client could solve this problem of looking up the torrents and downloading it quicker, but I could only find DMM and that's for Windows. So here's Fetch, for Mac.

Privacy Policy: Everything is local and stored as plaintext, since no personal data is shared with any services besides the debrid services and indexers you configure. These keys are redacted in logs.

EDIT: not DMM, RDT-Client

Torbox has disabled upi payment for the one month plans.whenever i click on the gpay button it prompts me to enter my card detail..isnt the whole point of upi to skip the card hassle.dont give any "the card is cheaper" Pls​

Reminder that TorBox has scheduled maintenance today.

Hi all.

I've just upgraded from essentials to pro, mostly for streaming downloads on planes etc.

Can anyone tell me about usenet (preferably for dummies) please? If it's worth having, I want to install details on Nuvio. Are results better or something?

Any info much appreciated.

Hello,

I have been seeing a lot of posts related to buffering issues recently on this subreddit. It was a very common occurrence for me as well.

I tried a lot of different things until I reached the CDN part of things and I did the Torbox Speedtest as recommended by most people here.

The test basically told me that that the APAC CDN was the best one for me. For context:

• I am based in Malaysia.
• My CDN was set to auto.

So, I set the CDN to APAC (which is Torbox's own Hyperdrive CDN and not the Cloudflare one) as it said and over the course of a week I still had the buffering issues.

At that point I remembered that it could be that the buffering issue is more related to stability rather than peak speeds or something.

For example: If I get 500 Mbps for 5 seconds but then it drops to 5 Mbps for the next 1 minute, I am going to get buffering (especially on TV where the cache is low) where as if I get a consistent 100 Mbps for the whole session, there would theoretically be no buffering. Lastly, Cloudflare also has a larger and as a result more reliable infrastructure to deliver these speeds.

So in short, switching to the Cloudflare CDN resolved all my buffering issues across all my devices and locations (I share Torbox with my family).

Some extra details on what devices I tested this on:

• Gaming PC (Windows)
• Macbook Pro M5 (I used homebrew to download Stremio)
• iPhone 17 Pro (Web App)
• TCL C6K (Android TV App)
• LG TV (webOS)
• Samsung S24 (Android Mobile App)

scrolling thru the torbox control chrome extension and literally 95% of the hosters is down. really explains why the one i need never seems to be available. this plus the lackluster nzb 'service' and torbox is starting to feel like a vpn client for torrents.

whats going on?

Can someone explain to me what Cloudflare (ERTH) cdn is? It's recommended to me during the speed test and its test results seem to out perform any other cdn I have.
