Global domination with new CDNs! TorBox releases 14 new CDNs, not including the 2 we already had in Western United States and the Netherlands! This exciting new development means that TorBox users get much faster downloads, faster stream start times, faster seeking times and better throughput wherever they are in the world.

We placed these 14 new CDNs very strategically based on where our users are located, which means the most amount of users will be impacted by this fantastic change. The API has also been upgraded to route you to the perfect CDN, but also use your setting if you have manually changed your preferred CDN location.

These CDNs are also extremely fast, quicker than our competitors in function, being able to push over 4gbit/s from a single connection. The amount of time and effort was spent in optimizing each location for the networks around each CDN was insane, but we are extremely happy with how the CDNs turned out!

Also, happy birthday to TorBox as it just turned 2 years old! It’s been a crazy 2 years, and an even more crazy past 1 year, so please enjoy TorBox v8, and let us know what you think!

  • São Paulo, Brazil 🇧🇷

  • Chicago, Illinois, United States 🇺🇸

  • Miami, Florida, United States 🇺🇸

  • Cloudflare CDN 🌐

    • Uses the closest Cloudflare datacenter to serve the file, rather than from one of our many new CDNs.

    • This can be very fast for some users, but slow for others. We recommend sticking to auto unless manual tests prove that this CDN is fast for you.

    • This serves mostly as a backup option if none of our CDNs work well for you.

  • Bunny CDN 🌐

    • Like Cloudflare, uses the closest Bunny.net datacenter, rather than from one of our many new CDNs.

    • This can be very fast (in our testing, even faster than Cloudflare), but slow for others. We recommend sticking to auto unless manual tests prove that this CDN is fast for you. We also recommend trying out the Cloudflare one, since they have a larger network and will be faster for more users.

    • This serves mostly as a backup option if none of our CDNs work well for you (even the Cloudflare one).

• CDNs do not perform zip downloads. You will be routed to either WNAM or WEUR CDNs to handle these downloads.

• CDNs also do not host the WebDAV, you will be routed to either WNAM or WEUR CDNs to handle these downloads.

• Fixes streaming issues with Kodi regarding crashes and buffering after a short amount of time.

  • Default Kodi settings are now sufficient to be used with TorBox and works fine with any supported addon.

• Zip downloads are now resumable and multi-thread downloadable.

  • Once you start your download, the resulting zip file will be created on disk as the download is progressing, meaning you can pause the ongoing download at any time.

  • The initial download will not be multi-thread downloadable until the entire file is on the disk, but most likely the completed zip file is already on your device.

    • If you are using the API to do this, you could first run a GET request on the zip link, cancel it, wait for a minute, then download it again with multiple threads and in most cases the speed benefits will outweigh the waiting period for the file to generate on disk.

    • While not exactly great for multi-threaded downloads, this feature was mainly aimed at making the zip download resumable, which it accomplishes perfectly.

• Patreon payments no longer require emails to be exactly the same with the new Patreon linking system which shows up before purchasing. This links your Patreon account with TorBox, which prevents any issues with post-purchase linking not working properly.

Web Downloads / Debrid

• Handles quota error with Google Drive. The download will be rejected so you may attempt the download later.

• Allows using direct download links for Pixeldrain.

Website

• With all the new CDNs, the CDN selector needed a glow up. It now looks much more modern and less cluttered, and includes flags for easy association with the CDN of your choice.

  • When the “Auto” selection is enabled, there will be a lightning icon next to the CDN that “Auto” will be using. This is nice for users to get a gauge on exactly what Auto is using based on their IP.

• All drop down selectors also get a similar glow up for better UX.

• The hosters page also gets a revamp, changing how it looks.

  • The images now load directly from TorBox, which results in faster image loading, better quality, and better security.

• Allows setting Pixeldrain API key in the settings so that uploads are sent to your account. This is required to use the Pixeldrain uploader now.

• Allows setting 1Fichier API key in the settings so that uploads are sent to your own 1Fichier account rather than being uploaded anonymously.

• Allows setting Gofile API key in the settings so that uploads are sent to your own Gofile account rather than being uploaded anonymously.

• Fixes opening links in player for Android devices.

• Speedtest page is now more reliable and accurate when performing tests.

• The speed test page now shows the ping to each CDN before testing.

• New “Borrowed” tag for torrents where the user does not “own” the torrent. This comes with no repercussions and is purely informational.

  • Clicking on this tag on the dashboard will take you to the following article which explains this in more detail:

    https://support.torbox.app/en/articles/9835759-download-labels#h_13c4cd560d

• Searching in the hosters page, will now change the URL you are located at with the search query, so you can easily share the same exact search you are at.

  • If you search for “1fichier”, the current URL you are at will change to /hosters?search=1fichier, so if you refresh or send to another user, it will show the same results.

• Searching in the integrations page will now change the URL you are located at with the search query, so you can easily search the same exact search you are at.

  • If you search for “qbittorrent”, the current URL you are at will change to /integrations?search=qbittorrent so if you refresh or send to another user, it will show the same results.

• Selecting a section in the settings page, such as “search” will change the current URL to the section you are currently at, so you can share it or refresh, and it will take you right back to the same section.

• Adds OAuth Device page for linking your device to a Third Party App.

• Adds Private filter to the dashboard and settings.

• Adds Borrowed filter to the dashboard and settings.

• Adds the ability to download a receipt of any transaction, looks beautiful!

API

• The API now properly routes you to the best CDN. You can always be sure that your download will be as fast as possible.

• Allows batch starting queued downloads.

  • Previously this would result in a database error.

• Route /torrents/torrentinfo can now use the TorBox cache to get torrent info, which can result in quicker results from this endpoint.

  • You must enable this manually, by sending the “use_cache_lookup” parameter. This is due to the fact that it would return zero seeders and zero peers which may defeat the point of this endpoint for some applications.

• Test files now properly choose the closest files to download and the rest are based on closest as you go down the list.

• Fixes interesting race conditions with some routes in the API.

• Requesting download links are now slightly faster.

  • Improved around 50ms!

• Better reliability with starting queued downloads.

• Better reliability with starting RSS feed scraping.

• New device code authorization flow for developers on apps primarily on TV devices. This makes linking devices with TorBox much easier. API DOCS.

• Adds add_only_if_cached parameter to /createXXXXdownload endpoints that allows you to specify if you only want this download added to your account if it is cached. If not cached it will return an error DOWNLOAD_NOT_CACHED. API DOCS.

• Adds ability to generate PDF receipt of transaction the user owns.

Search API

• More results when searching for anime.

• Quicker results when searching for anime, due to a different scraping method of Nyaa.si which focuses on parallelism.

• Adds AnimeTosho to anime torrent searches.

  • Previously only used for anime usenet searches.
