New

Improved

v2.4

Minor update that introduces TorBox's awesome new community requested plan! This release also fixes a lot of bugs that have been springing up, as well as another rewrite, this time of the relay (was not fun).

  • Introduces the new Standard Plan. This plan is aimed at users who want to use TorBox with private trackers who require at least a week of seeding, but don't need all of the features that the Pro plan has.

    • Allows for 5 active downloads.

    • Allows for 2 week (14 day) seeding.

    • Other than those 2 changes, it is the same as the Essential Plan.

  • Rewrote the relay to allow for scalability (yes, I have already rewritten the relay once in v2.0). This time it introduces a queue, so instead of all these requests trying to be done at the same time it processes 10 at a time, per worker, meaning with scale, I could make it even faster.

    • Mainly addresses the issues of downloads not being updated on the dashboard.

    • Honestly, this doesn't affect the user, as it is now working exactly how it is supposed to, LOL.

  • Removed Sentry bug popup. Whenever an error would happen, safe or unsafe, it would popup this window which severely impacted the user experience, as it would usually popup on "safe" errors or errors that don't affect anything, which would be very annoying, so it is removed.

  • Optimized the website, so on average it should be almost 10% faster regarding opening and closing pages. This will only really affect users on mobile devices on cellular data.

These changes aren't very noticeable, but ensures that TorBox is easy and feels good to use.
