Morning Miki,
So, you just went ahead and deleted your account?
Yes I did. Clowns running it donāt amuse me. So going to move on. Not a big deal for me. I jave a 3 yrs PM sub.
Damn see what happens when you piss off @Miki Troypoint kicks Torbox to the curb! 
Too funny, Iām not even thinking about that $36 loss. Guess, no sense in waiting to delete my account. 
I wish I had that much influence on things. But now I know you think I do @SoloWarrior .
When these debrid/seedbox services started years ago the main reason was to use them as a private middleman for your torrent downloading. This is nuts!
Torbox has basically said that if ACE or authorities come knocking, hereās the user ip address, email, and billing address of the person who downloaded the file.
Iāve cancelled my account and will move onto Premiumize. Big deal itās 40 bucks more per year but I still get everything I want to see. $7 per month and Netflix is what $25 now with 1/10th of the content?
You know that saying āwhen someone tells you who they are, believe themā? Well, thatās Torbox. Never super-reliable, incorporated in the UAE, sold in the middle of the night, re-wrote terms of agreement so that their legal team in Delaware could prosecute everyone except for them. You have been given fair warning.
Unfortunately, in the case of Premiumize, it may be a case of:

Im no going to pass to quick of a judgment. I donāt like the TOS change. But if the company has to move itās base location and in that area they are kinda forced to do thisā¦ Then the terms of service change would reflect that to keep from being sued by users.
Again not ideal but do remember we all used real debrid for years. And it was the best option and they would have done the same and had it in there TOS as well.
On the other hand I canāt say anything bad about premiumize I use it every day. I am not a fan of their point based model though. I would much rather them do like real debrid and lock account down to IP connection linked to 1 per active use. This did good for real debrid.
I donāt personally have a problem with the cap but I generally only download movies 10gb or less and shows 5gb or lessā¦ But you are limitedā¦ If your constantly playing 50gb files u will hit that limit.
I was really wanting to see TorBox come out on top of this real debrid situation. As I think they had the best overall service model. That may not be the case tho.. we will have to see.
I do think itās good to bring light to this maybe it will redirect themā¦ I doubt they will walk back the TOS change. But, hereās hoping. I would assume lawyers said they should to cover their own butts. Just a hunch.
How long does utop.us take for premiumize voucher, has anyone had experience with ordering there? BTC xfer is confirmed
Think Iāll stick with TB until Black Friday to see if there are any good deals available.
(Or until TB runs dry)
Iām certain they already have enough data on me. And cancelling the account wouldnāt hide anything if they passed on the data as they keep the full history.
I was just thinking. I have never heard of anyone ever getting busted for using a Debrid account. that I can think of. Iāve been going though these forums for years an never read about the law threatening any body. I know you should never say never but to date never heard of anybody. Have any of you?
100% that is my stance on this and until someone gets busted for using Torbox or the streams stop working Iām gonna keep on keeping on
These Debrid services have been in business a good 10 years or longer an never heard of anybody ever getting busted. If they did we wouldl have all heard about it by now.
Agree 100% with you but like I said above the main reason people have used these in the beginning was for a private middleman to download torrents. Now they are more popular because of streaming boxes more people are using them and now they have new terms where they have shifted liability to user. I donāt think we would have ever seen this if streaming boxes werenāt a thing.

āIām gonna ride itā¦All Night longā
Torbox will be dead box before long.
Premiumize is expensive compared to TorBox, but so far so good on a year subscription using reseller voucherā¦
