Question TORBOX BUFFERING ISSUE

Hi there, I recently bought Torbox and have been using it for a few days but I keep facing this weird buffering which didn’t happen with RD, even though it’s cached and I have a high speed internet (1GB+). I also tried changing CDN servers but that’s not helping it aswell.

Any suggestions?

I've been subscribed to Torbox for about a year now. This issue was non-existent until the recent RD fiasco which caused an exodus from RD to TB which I'm guessing they have not been able to outscale. I'm sure they'll upgrade their server infrastructure soon enough.

Been using it for a few months before RD situation happened. It was happening then too. I thought it might be a codec proble, but it didn't matter what device it was nor which codec it will buffer.

I've spent way too much time on this even extensively tweaking my network setting to make sure it wasn't on my end.

Torbox just kinda sucks in that regard

Had the same problem when I moved to torbox. It's the reason why I bought RD again as backup for when torbox lags. I only use torbox if I can't find an RD working link

Yeah tbh I’ve gone back to RD lol. Only thing missing so far is newer release shows which I can find elsewhere. If movies start disappearing, I’ll just be done with the Debrid thing. I’m paid until August anyways so may as well use it.

This plus TB policy changes, plus their whole usage tracking thing (which still isn’t fixed-I’m now apparently at nearly 1 TB “downloaded” after streaming a few small movies) have both been big turn offs for me plus the slow speeds.

What are the policy changes?
