New
Improved
Along with this small update, we have hit a pretty big milestone, 10,000 users! Combined with this, we recently hit 30,000 downloads (this means the number of torrents added)! We also are adding a pretty large feature, which is not exactly a breaking change, but changes how TorBox seeds torrents from now on. This also introduces a lot of cool UI changes and features, so read more below!
Adds new pricing page! This allows you to fully view the pricing and makes for easier comparison between plans.
Changed wording in footer.
Changed wording of some CTA.
Changes color of Manage Subscription button on Dashboard to have more contrast.
Changes MFA code entry form to look a lot nicer and more familiar.
New setting for changing caching settings for torrents added. This allows you to choose 1 of 3 new seeding presets.
Auto. This is the default. Keeping on auto, means that TorBox will decide what torrents will be seeded. TorBox will take into consideration factors such as if the torrent is private, torrent health, seeders, peers and more to make an informed decision whether to seed the torrent or not.
NOTE: TorBox will seed more often than not in auto mode.
Always. This is the option you choose if you want all of your torrents to seed.
Never. This is the option you choose if you want all of your torrents to not seed.
New setting for changing caching settings for torrents added through the Stremio addon. This is exactly like the above setting, except that it is specifically for Stremio torrents. This allows you to have even more flexibility when adding torrents.
New Advanced section in the New Torrent popup/dialog that will have additional settings when adding torrents.
New drop down in this section that is exactly like the above settings, except for overriding your settings for specifically this torrent. If for example, you usually add private torrents, and this is a public torrent, you can make this specific torrent to not seed, but keep your default setting at always seed.
Removed button asking you to enable notifications on mobile. Most mobile devices don't support push notifications from the browser anyways, so the button was simply removed. If you want notifications on your device, download the mobile app!
Now sends a notification on sign in. It tells you the IP and device that was signed into. This way you can keep your account secure if you notice that this wasn't you signing in.
Allowing users to not seed instantly opens up a active torrent slot, and makes the torrent cached rather than seeding and taking up an active slot.
Adds ability to specify an option on the /createtorrent path for seeding.
When sending a multipart form, if you want to specify a seeding setting, send use the key name, seed. Accepted values are numbers from 1-3. 1 meaning auto, 2 meaning seed, 3 meaning don't seed.
Adds /search/<<query>> route which allows you to search by any type of query and return metadata for the results.
Uses Meilisearch in the background so it is super fast, accurate, and you are able to search for literally anything, titles, aliases in other languages, actors, characters, and more.
Adds tutorial endpoints such as for /meta, /torrents and /search, which tells you all about the endpoints.
Usenet coming next!
