New

Improved

Fixed

v4.4

This is a bit of a smaller update, but one that rounds most of the jagged edges TorBox has had for awhile, as well as introduces some pretty cool things. We would also like to apologize to everyone for the server issues we have been having recently, we desperately are trying to claw our way out of it, and right now, it is just a waiting game, as hardware is arriving. We hope to make it up to all of you, and maybe bring some of those who have unsubscribed from the service due to the issues (we miss you!). Anyways, please enjoy this update. We will create a new change log and site announcement when things are back up and running at 100%. We promise the wait will be worth it.

Service

  • Adds the ability to download your files from Tinfoil! No more need for scammy shops, NUT, or clunky transfers! Simply input the TorBox Tinfoil Server connection details into your Tinfoil app and start directly installing to your Nintendo Switch.

    • Please note that we don't provide games, or support piracy in any way. This is simply an easy way to transfer your owned files to your Nintendo Switch.

    • To connect, simply make sure you have .nsp, .nsz, .xci or .xcz files inside of your TorBox and open Tinfoil on your switch and use the connection details below:

      • Protocol: https

      • Host: tinfoil.torbox.app

      • Username: Your TorBox email. Make sure to replace the '@' symbol with '%40' as Tinfoil doesn't officially support emails when connecting.

      • Password: Your TorBox password.

      • Name: TorBox

    • You were previously able to use Tinfoil through the TorBox FTP, but this is simply another way to interact with your TorBox files from Tinfoil (as well as being easier).

      • You were also previously able to use Tinfoil with TorBox through Google Drive, but as it’s not automated, it makes it difficult, as well as the setup being generally difficult and somewhat time consuming. This is just a better way in almost every way.

  • Adds the ability for TorBox to send notifications over a webhook! This allows you to do a whole lot of interesting things with your notifications as soon as you receive them!

    • Discord and Slack are natively supported, simply add a webhook from either site and TorBox will recognize it and send you a fancy notification on the respective platform!

    • If not a known service, TorBox will simply send the following payload which is standard according to Standard Webhooks:

      {
    "event": "torbox.notification",
    "timestamp": utc_iso_time,
    "data": {
        "title": "string",
        "message": "string"
    }
}

  • Fixes Google Drive uploads and logins. Previously they would fail at 100% due to recent issues with our IP’s being incorrectly flagged on Spamhaus due to rack neighbors. This issue has been solved for the most part, but it is likely still going to be an ongoing fight.

Website

  • Adds Tinfoil as integration to the integrations page.

  • Adds Wireguard as integration to the integrations page.

  • Adds SABnzbd as integration to the integrations page as it works with the TorBox Usenet provider.

  • Adds RClone FTP as integration to the integrations page.

  • Adds Tinfoil Server to settings page, which shows all of the info necessary to connect to it.

  • Adds Usenet Provider to settings page, which takes you to the tools page to actually get your credentials.

  • Adds ability to change whether you want to receive notifications inside of the JDownloader application (not yet implemented into the plugin).

  • Adds ability to view the tracker message, if any, when switching on viewing the tracker.

  • Hides tracker sensitive information on dashboard, simply shows the host name of the tracker on the dashboard.

  • Adds ability to stop seeding a torrent. This is good for when you feel as though you have seeded enough, or simply want to recover a slot while still keeping the torrent.

  • Adds Webhook Notification setting to the settings page to determine if you want notifications sent to the given webhook url.

  • Adds Webhook URL setting to the settings page, where notifications will be sent if enabled.

  • Adds a test notification settings button. This will simply create a notification in the standard way, to test your notification setup. It will only send a test notification to your enabled notification options. Useful if using webhook notifications and you want to make sure they work. This will not create test notifications for web notifications or RSS feed notifications (if enabled).

Tinfoil Server

  • The Tinfoil server is introduced to TorBox services. This allows you to download your files directly from TorBox to your Tinfoil application.

  • We have created an open source and self-hosted version of this API, which you can run for yourself, on your own computer or server. This releases the pressure from us to host this API for public consumption, so if we ever take down the Tinfoil server, you are able to host and run it yourself, and it will work exactly the same as the hosted version!

    • You can view the GitHub repository for the open source server here.

    • You can view the Docker container information here.

    • This will be continuously worked on as ideas form, as well as accepting PR’s and such.

Discord Bot

  • Fixed reliability and made more robust.

API

  • Allows providing a name to the /torrents/createtorrent, /usenet/createusenetdownload, and /webdl/createwebdownload endpoints. This allows you to provide a custom name with your downloads, so it can be named as you like. This fixes issues with torrents having unknown names. This is currently not implemented on the website or in the Stremio addon. API DOCS.

  • Adds the ability to send test notifications. This can be found at /notifications/test. API DOCS.
