Download file as torrent file

Allows you to download a private torrent file directly from TorBox that points to the torrent on TorBox's servers. This is a new torrent file that will be linked to your account, but allows you to download the torrent on your own torrent client, which comes with all the perks of p2p torrenting. In this case, TorBox will act like a private tracker.

Retry Failed Requests to 'v1/api/torrents/requestdl' endpoint

Often with larger torrents with many contained files, I am finding that the download(s) are often incomplete when choosing to select/copy all links to feed to a download manager like JDownloader. Upon further investigation I noticed that, often enough, several requests to the 'https://api.torbox.app/v1/api/torrents/requestdl?' API endpoint are failing with HTTP status 500, and are not retried. Since a request is generated for every individual file, this results in the incomplete capture of download links when using this feature. I have a feeling this also affects users simply choosing to download via their browser, as the actual download links are not generated in this case. I'm currently mitigating this on my end via a semi-convoluted process - I wrote a script that converts the JSON response data previously fetched in the browser from the endpoint `https://db.torbox.app/rest/v1/torrents?select=*` into a CSV format. I then return a list of all filenames with their extensions from the download directory, which is used to filter the list of all files in the torrent (in the CSV), by matching the filenames against the 'short_name' JSON parameter, and return only the missing files. Lastly, I use a script to fetch the download links for these missing files/failed requests from the `https://api.torbox.app/v1/api/torrents/requestdl?` endpoint using a valid token, and have added retry logic on failure from my end at this point. Happy to share all of these with the developers of the site if further context is required to understand - and yes, I am being respectful so as to not bombard your endpoint with a ton of concurrent requests at once :)Additionally - a bug report - I also am often finding that, when copying these links using the button, the clipboard often contains a blank 'block' of text space, with no characters, or simply contains 'null'.

Planned

Improve Stremio integration and content matching (w/ usenet/debrid)

This is a bit of some meta ideas I think of for Improving stremio integration and content matching: 1. in stremio, could be nice to use to already built in titles that are shown in indexers and those be shown accordingly in search.2. Could be extremely nice that if a file already in my account to be matched to the right title by it's name if it can be matched (like in plex agents or like the example above of indexers doing so and pull the that info).3. If it possible to improve debrid support then could be nice to consider debrid match by title, filename or imdb etc provided in known websites such as scene-rls so those could be shown in stremio.4. Add more built in indexers for lesser known movies/content or rare ones or any other efficient idea in that direction to show generally more results of foreign movies or rare ones etc.5. Show subtitle tracks languages in short below language or next to it, those that are embedded in the file. This is shown in some indexers I know of and might be possible to pull from api I guess.Thanks.

Integration of torbox with our seedboxes / dedicated server

Instead of keeping actively seeding in torbox, power users could download it through torbox, and have a workflow to send these files to their computer / seedbox / server automatically. Once transfer is done, add the .torrents to their torrent client. That way, users still get your top download speeds and can also verify if the torrent is already cached easily. Then, they don't hit the limit of actively seeding torrents and don't **** up your server I/O :) Can be an additional feature, don't mind paying for that. Also believe it's better than https://torbox.featurebase.app/p/dedicated-torbox-servers

In Progress

Server side transcoding

Hello,It appears that in some debrid services you can turn on a setting to transcode the streams before receiving them. This can help reduce the network usage! Though current options in their services is very limited and api integration seems lacking. So it's something torbox could have an edge, if you have enough hardware for this (quicksync?).All the best!

Completed

Usenet speed improvements

Let me know if It's better to spread these into different feature suggestions- Easy integration of Torbox add-on / search with their own usenet indexers- Improving speeds to achieve "close to instant" file streaminga) Use Ramdisk for downloads and unpackingb) Make sure CPU is not the bottleneck for unpacking speedsc) Tune the connection to the providers to get better speeds (changing ports, enabling/disabling ssl, tune number of connections, change download manager to NZBGet and test since it doesn't use python, etc.) d) Improve peering with the usenet server (identify where they are located, maybe contacting the provider support directly to set up a server close to them)
