Improved
Fixed
Switched from NGINX Proxy Manager (NPM) to plain NGINX. This was a needed change and was the cause of the random SSL errors, random downtimes and other strange errors. Since changing, things have been working properly and much faster than before. We have concluded that after 6 months of using NPM it is not production ready, especially at the volume we do (roughly 2 million requests per day). This change also allows us to more carefully tune our configurations for speed, and reliability.
Fixed some zip downloads not properly processing.
Adds support for V2 torrents. You can read more about them here. Basically if your torrent magnet has btmh in it rather than (or in addition to) btih, then it is now supported. Previously it would simply say "Torrent rejected by the server".
Better reliability when getting the torrent hash.
Better reliability with debrid links.
Brings back MD5 hashes to files. This was requested by users, as well as for the future of TorBox as we will now be checking for viruses (simple, non-intrusive, and non-removing, acts more as a "hey this torrent has a virus, watch out", not a "this torrent has a virus and you are not allowed to download it" type of vibe), and the simplest way is by MD5 hash.
Fixed web downloads (debrid downloads) not showing progress even though they were downloading just fine.
KNOWN ISSUE: We are aware of the issues with storage.torbox.app. This is a result of not having enough servers to meet the download demands of all of our users during peak hours. We are quickly working on scaling to be able to handle the load. You may notice for a few minutes that the storage is completely inaccessible. We apologize for this inconvenience. We are striving to make TorBox as reliable as possible over the next updates.
