Torbox having API issues right now

Anyone else having Torbox links not working?

My backup is Real Debrid and it seems to be down too!

RD is working fine for me. TB is down.

TB is down for me, too.

I’ve just confirmed that Torbox API is down. Their website says they are working on it.

Back up for me.

Only down for 12 minutes (according to status site). Actually more like 40 minutes. Not too bad.

Lol. I loved their message, "we fired the guy responsible "

We’re looking into reports of API availability issues

We fired the guy responsible, we’re so back

:shushing_face: :grin:

It was announced, 7 days added due to recent outages.

Excellent. TorBox really is trying to recover from their debacle about a month ago and do the right thing for customers. Good to see. Thanks for the info @dogg5150

This came out yesterday regarding the recent outages on Torbox Discord.

Pardon me, but I’m a Torbox newbie so please bear with me. What does this mean? This is from my Dashboard.

13 Downloads

Mine does that all the time. Some have not been cached just yet and so it downloads them and then plays it. I clear mone off about every other day, but they will also clear after a certain lenth of time. Lol.

For those having difficulty setting up or understanding how to add your TorBox API into an addon there is a tool that can be of help. Have a look.

Miki, thank you for the reply and link.

I’m a dodo brain. Please correct me if I’ve got this scenario wrong.

This is referring to Kodi.
I search for a movie called “The Moon is Made of Green Cheese”. Five links pop up and cycle through but none of the links play. So Torbox continues to look for any working links after I have moved on. If Torbox finds a working link, the link is placed in the “Downloads” section of the Torbox site. So my question is, if I still want to watch The Moon is Made of Cheese movie, how do I access that movie?

Once downloaded and cached you should be able to search for it again and it will show for you to select, at least it does in stremio, not to sure for kodi.

Obviously I removed the posters so not to violate any rules.

You’ll want to setup Kodi addons properlly so you only see cached content. Then all links will play immediately. Same for Stremio addons.

@dogg5150 is correct unless of course you wish to have them to play at say a later date or put on external storage for watching another time. I personally never use the download and have mine configured for cached sources only. But TorBox still downloads in my account. Use to be able to stop that in the old TorBox addon but I don’t see any way to stop it in my Dashboard now. So I just delete them occasionally.

Oh come on…unless it’s really mean. :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

@JerryJ It was just a photo of a gigantic Dodo because your remark made me chuckle :laughing:
