Improved
Fixed
The WebDAV was completely rewritten from scratch using no additional tools. Previously the framework we were using had missing compatibilities, had general bloat, instabilities, and wasn’t built for the amount of usage or users we have. This new rewrite was made to counter every single problem reported previously about the old WebDAV including and most importantly downloading.
Listing files is now extremely fast and compatibility has been verified to work with the following apps (and more):
RClone
All commands work including mounting!
Infuse
Infuse no longer requires any extra settings to work, just connect as normal!
Owlfiles
Vidhub
Kodi
MiXplorer
Cyberduck/Mountain Duck
WinSCP
Downloading is now extremely fast and much more reliable than before. Some users have claimed nearly instant start times. Currently only hosted in the EU, your mileage may vary, but at least it is very reliable!
Little to no rate limiting when listing files, or downloading files.
Supports multi-threaded downloads up to 16 threads.
Simple and easy to use Web UI. This is open to suggestion on what exactly we should do with it. Please send us suggestions on what you would like to see!
WebDAV Flattening is still supported!
This can be used for Infuse, which prevents Infuse from scanning the entire library over again if something changed. Flattening only makes Infuse scan that one item.
Customizable views! Change between the default “Explorer” view, and the “Classic” view.
The “Explorer” view is more tailored to the average user as it is like the standard Finder or Windows Explorer most people are used to.
The “Classic” view is more tailored to power users as it shows the size, and is more condensed, giving more information.
Both views include a beautiful UI similar to that of MacOS (heavily inspired).
FTP is being sunset due to little use, and WebDAV now being the high performance option. This may be a little shock, but our analytics show that since inception, FTP has constantly been less popular that WebDAV in general. The new WebDAV is extremely fast, so you shouldn’t be missing anything!
Edge case with Mega folders has been fixed. This would cause some folders to not download or get stuck at a certain percentage every time.
Fixes Clicknupload downloads.
Handles edge-case GoFile urls.
Fixes Terabytez downloads.
Fixes HitFile downloads.
Fixes MegaUp downloads.
Fixes Worldbytez downloads.
Baidu now shows total filesize of the download. This also means that downloads too large will now be not allowed.
Now gives proper error for Dropbox downloads that cannot be downloaded (without account, download it yourself).
1Fichier gets higher file size and download amount limits!
200GB per link.
50 links per day.
Mega gets a higher file size limit!
200GB per link.
Uses new Cobalt API, and local processing so YouTube downloads should be much faster, and show download progress and size.
This also affects all other Cobalt compatible sites.
This also resolves a few bugs reported by our users. Downloading should be nice and smooth now!
Only playlists are not using local processing due to complexity, and downloads already being mult-threaded and very quick.
Adds Terabox download hoster! This allows you to download files and folders up to 100GB in size extremely quickly and without ads.
Supports password locked files and folders. Simply add your password if required.
Supports folders of any size, and will be downloaded in the correct folder structure.
Only supports public files. Private files are not able to be downloaded.
Adds Scribd download hoster! This allows you to download open source books and documents extremely quickly!
Adds Dropapk download hoster!
Adds Katfile download hoster!
Archive.org now handles direct download links in the format of https://archive.org/download/file.txt
YTDLP downloads now give better errors to the user.
Fixes Streamtape downloads and allows more download link types.
RapidRar downloads will now give specific error when the file is missing from RapidRar.
Adds a lot more domains to already existing sites.
This will prevent errors if there are lots of mirror sites of the same website.
Fixes edge-case HAnime downloads where the site didn’t have all of the data necessary. This will still allow you to download these items.
Gofile downloads folder as files rather than as a zip. This is better for download speed as it can now be multi-threaded rather than single-threaded.
Fixes edge case where the name of a Usenet download ending with a file extension would mess up the entire download due to how the files get processed.
If a Usenet download fails to process it will properly turn inactive.
Usenet RSS feeds now downloads the NZB file from the link retrieved from the RSS feed, and uses that for adding the download, rather than grabbing links twice, one for hashing, one for downloading. For users on private indexers, this should save you on grab limits rather than wasting them.
Usenet RSS feeds now use the name from the RSS feed item when downloading the NZB file, as the new download method doesn’t have enough information to get a usable name from, so this fixes that.
Force starting queued web downloads properly start.
Usenet downloads will no longer have a download_state
of “completed” when it is supposed to be processing.
Usenet downloads add much faster, which results in faster download times, and faster perceived adding times.
Faster processing for large files, or torrents with many files.
If a Usenet download is encrypted and the user did not provide a password, instead of being “paused” it will properly fail the download.
Adding Usenet downloads is much faster.
Adding torrents are much faster.
New async endpoints for adding downloads. This allows you to basically “send and forget” links/magnets/torrent files/nzbs to download and not wait for an entire response. This is great for applications that don’t require to know the hash and instead prefer speed when queuing a download.
This is currently not documented, but if you want to use it now, just add “async” before the endpoint (ie: asynccreatetorrent
)
Even better detection of languages! (Previous changelog mentions this too, but this one is even better).
Keep in mind that if the file name doesn’t specify a language, we still fall back with “UNKNOWN”.
Much faster start times! This should be at the top due to just how fast streams start now!
If you experience slow start times, it’s due to Stremio buffering the file before playing, or the file itself is downloading slow. On average, the Stremio addon generates a link in less than 1-3 seconds.
Even better Your Media detection. This iteration of improvement was focused on additional language detection in Your Media items.
Using the new async endpoints for adding downloads, downloads are perceived to add faster, and should always be less than a second or so for adding.
The new download will show up momentarily.
MFA input automatically focuses reducing the need to click on the input to start typing. This also prompts password managers to also open up their selectors.
Fixes Onedrive Path and Google Drive Folder ID, and Webhook URL deleting one another when editing.
Adds setting for changing WebDAV “Explorer” view or WebDAV “Classic” view.
Changing a cached setting (ie: something that may take time to propagate), gives proper success message stating that it may take a few minutes for the changes to take effect.
Adds acronyms of CDN to CDN listing. (WEUR and WNAM and APAC)

Improved
Fixed
Properly handles when Nitroflare links return a 404 status meaning they no longer exist on the site and cannot be downloaded.
Nitroflare is also now currently disabled. We are working on providing better support for this file hoster.
Annas Archive downloads now use the proper file extensions rather than always being .epub
.
Fixes downloading Mediafire folders.
GoFile downloads are properly unpacked if in a folder.
Fixes Pixeldrain list downloading.
Adds Outplayer, MX Player, and IINA video players to the TorBox download page.
Adds ability for more Stremio languages to be filtered.
User stats for total upload, total download, and overall ratio should now properly update daily.
Fixes handling logging in for some WebDAV clients and software.
Better handling of non-English languages.
Prowlarr and Jackett searches all metadata languages rather than the main one. This improves searching for downloads in other languages.
Searching by query is improved to be more accurate.
Allows searching by filename to find the proper metadata of the file by sending ?type=file
. API DOCS.
Better language detection of streams. This will now properly show the language of the item if it is in the title of the media.
Added more languages to filter by:
Ukrainian, Nordic, Czech, Polish, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Dutch. (Dutch was already added but the addon never actually filtered it, whoops!).
Detection of Your Media is improved.
Usenet downloads are more reliable when downloading extremely small files.
Does not allow submitting the TorBox RSS feed as a downloadable RSS feed.
Improved API request speed, including requesting download links in particular should be much faster. Some users have exclaimed about over 4x improved times, which also translates into faster stream start times!
May 1st, 2025
New
Fixed
Queries are now forwarded when passing through authentication or MFA.
/quickadd?magnet=xxx → /login → /quickadd?magnet=xxx
Adds Stremio addon option for showing “Your Media” streams in the stream list. This option is ON by default as it speeds up searches for streams and not many people will be using it in the first place. If being disabled, the below new option will also be disabled.
Adds Stremio addon option for only showing “Your Media” streams in the stream list. This option is OFF by default. If enabling this option, the above setting will also be enabled.
Adds status page with TorBox’s new status page. This replaces the old status page and shows it on the actual TorBox website now rather than a subdomain.
Stuck torrents which have stayed stuck downloading for over 7 days, and has more than 7 days ETA will now be deleted automatically, freeing slots for things that will actually download.
The status page now shows live status for the Usenet and Web Downloads services, giving you better insight into any issues.
Adds more Clicknupload domains.
Fixes Mediafire downloader and makes it much more reliable and faster than ever before!
YouTube now supports downloading playlists.
Playlist sizes are limited to the first 100 items for now until Cobalt updates their API to include the size of videos (this will also enable download progress).
Fixes Worldbytez downloads.
Fixes GitHub downloads.
Adds Nitroflare downloading! This is an extremely popular file hoster that many people have requested it, and it doesn’t exist on other providers.
Limits: 5 links/day or 10GB/day whichever comes first. This may be upgraded in the future.
Adds Webshare.cz downloading! This is a niche file hoster, which also doesn’t exist on any other providers. We are proud to be the first to offer it. There are no limits!
Added more limits to specific hosters.
Turbobit: 5 links/day or 10GB/day whichever comes first. This may be upgraded in the future.
Filer: 5 links/day or 10GB/day whichever comes first. This may be upgraded in the future.
4Shared: 5 links/day or 10GB/day whichever comes first. This may be upgraded in the future.

Fixed
Usenet now shows processing status when processing is taking place. Whoops!
Better de-obfuscation of Usenet downloads in the post processing phase. Piggybacking off of the previous changelog.
Fixes some files which were getting retrieval errors even though they are on the filesystem.
Hyperdrive US CDN is now deployed in the late testing stages. A month ago we released a beta test for our US CDN and now it has been deployed. Previously we used Cloudflare R2 as a CDN but that didn’t suit our needs so now we have real servers in WNAM.
Currently only new files will be on the CDN, but we will be adding full replication soon once we have confirmed that this spec is what we need.
These servers, thanks to the great connection to the APAC region will be acting as the APAC CDN for the time being. Thanks to our users testing we found that this was very suitable.
Parallel handling of uploading to CDNs. This results in much faster processing times even with the added uploading to all the Hyperdrive CDNs.
Zip downloads no longer have the hash folder present when unzipping. This makes extracting less complicated, especially for automated tools. The folder structure will look like:
Download Name/
├─ SubFolder 1/
│ ├─ File 1
├─ SubFolder 2/
│ ├─ File 2
├─ File 3
Fixes uploads to OneDrive and makes all uploads more reliable.
Uploads to GoFile and 1Fichier now show upload progress.
More reliable RSS feeds. They now update at the specified interval.
Requesting download links are much faster thanks to numerous optimizations. This leads to faster perceived streaming start times.
Torrents should now download extremely fast. We have measured over 5gbit from public and private trackers, which is much more than any seedbox, and far outclasses any other service similar to ours.
Adds new Speedtest page which completely replaces the older speedtest domain. This page allows tests being to be more accurate as they use real test files served from our servers, rather than theoretical performance. This new speedtest also enables multithread downloads, showing how fast your connection really can be when multithreaded.
It saves your results in your browser, so you can run the test multiple times without losing anything.
It will also recommend you a CDN based on the results.
There are so many things to talk about with this speedtest page, but we gave it a lot of love, so please go check it out!
Adds 3 pages for viewing the top features of TorBox. This is mostly for SEO purposes.
Seedbox page. Goes over the top features of our seedbox feature.
Debrid page. Goes over the top features of our debrid feature.
Usenet page. Goes over the top features of our usenet feature.
Removes viewing online users on the network, and reliance on the relay to load the dashboard page.
The dashboard should now be more responsive for downloading thanks to the change in the relay.
Adds link to all integrations from the settings page as many users weren’t aware that we have a list for discovery of integrations on our website.
Allows sharing links to integrations and hosters. For example doing: https://torbox.app/hosters?search=1fichier will automatically filter to the hoster. Same for integrations: https://torbox.app/integrations?search=torrentio.
When opening the Search Dashboard button, the input is auto focused, which allows you to just start typing without having to worry about clicking on the text box before searching.
Removes Mega integration account settings. This was removed due to Mega’s API being now unsupported and unreliable outside of their official clients. This may see a return in the future.
Removes Mega uploading also due to the reasons above.
Adds the ability to upload to Pixeldrain! Pixeldrain is a well known and popular filehoster which allows fast downloads. You are now able to directly upload files to Pixeldrain from TorBox with a simple click of a button!
Max file size per file upload is 100GB.
Currently, only uploads to accounts owned by TorBox (used by the debrid system). We will be adding the ability for users to add their own API key for Pixeldrain uploads (which will upload to their own account).
Remove torrent uploading due to analytics showing no use, and many bugs with the process.
Adds JDownloader2 folder button, this allows you to download the entire folder in JDownloader2 with the full file structure without downloading as a ZIP then extracting. This is similar to other debrids.
When logged out, and navigating to an authorization guarded page, it will take you to the login page, then back to the previous page you wanted to go to. This provides a much better user experience, as you don’t have to change the url, or try navigating back to the page you actually wanted to go to. For example:
/settings → /login → /settings
The settings page allows you to hotlink directly to a specific section like, https://torbox.app/settings?section=search to go directly to the search section, or https://torbox.app/settings?section=stremio-settings to go directly to the Stremio settings section (integration settings).
Fixes GoFile upload integration uploading icon being at the top of the screen rather than inside of the box like the other buttons.
Inactive web downloads show fail status and date created now.
Fixes Turbobit downloads.
Also includes better handling for Turbobit downloads when they are “searching for files”. This can happen sometimes if the file has not been downloaded by anyone in a long period of time. This will error out, and ask the user to go to the link beforehand or try again later.
Fixes some downloads that were getting broken due to Cloudflare protection.
Disabled Mediafire for now.
Fixes some downloads for DailyUploads.net, ClicknUpload and Filestore.me, where the filename was too long and left the file in an unusable state.
Fixes Worldbytez downloads.
Adds Mega downloads back!
This includes downloading folders, download statuses, and more. This is fully fledged downloader which has the ability to download any Mega link, extremely quickly!
Please notice that download speeds for folders can appear slow due to the decryption process. The download speed shown on the dashboard includes overall speed including decryption speeds. This is to provide the most accurate speeds, even though downloading is much faster (80-90MB/s).
Fixes NHentai downloads.
Fixes HitFile downloads.
A multitude of optimizations were made, mostly regarding how data is written to the database, making adding this data much faster. This should allow torrents to be much responsive on the dashboard and the API.
Adds Changelogs endpoint for getting the changelogs posted here on https://feedback.torbox.app/changelog.
Fixes torrents still seeding or not being seeded when API receives auto seeding setting. This will instead respect the user-set setting rather than overriding to auto seeding.
Some integrations were sending 0 (auto seeding) to the API which is treated as an override. This fixes that.
Updates all API SDKs (Python, Go, Javascript)
Adds Java, PHP, and .NET SDKS.
Adds more information to the /torrents/torrentinfo
to include "trackers”, “seeds”, and “peers” which makes it a lot better for really getting more info about the torrent. This does come at a speed costs (ie: more time taken to gather the data). API DOCS.
Adds a POST
route for /torrents/torrentinfo
to allow for the API to accept a hash, magnet, or even torrent file for getting the torrent info. This allows for the “trackers” list to be populated as the API will get more information than DHT. API DOCS.
Adds a speed test endpoint for third party use inside of applications or other. Currently it is employed on TorBox’s speedtest page, but developers are free to use the endpoint for their own usages. API DOCS.
The /mylist
endpoint(s) will now consistently return items in ID descending order (largest to smallest ID / newest to oldest item).
Many optimizations were made to the Stremio addon which should make stream listings load much faster.
Stream loading time is respective of how many files you have in your account due to needing to calculate “Your Media”. More files means longer loading time. In the next update, we are allowing users to disable “Your Media” completely, or only use “Your Media”
Stremio addon configuration button goes directly to the Stremio integration settings on the TorBox settings page thanks to our section hotlink.
March 28th, 2025
New
Allows sending authentication to the Web hosters listing endpoint for live data and accurate representation of usage over daily use. API DOCS.
Allows redirecting download links using ?redirect=true. This is good for a lot of automations which created download links and refreshed them to keep them alive, which is considered abuse. Instead you can now give a permanent URL such as: https://api.torbox.app/v1/api/torrents/requestdl?token=APIKEY&torrent_id=NUMBER&file_id=NUMBER&redirect=true
. API DOCS.
Adds Send hoster. This is a modern file hoster which is very popular, which TorBox now supports with high speed downloads, all included in your TorBox paid subscription.
Adds Pillowcase.su hoster. This is a popular file hoster which is mainly geared towards open source music.
Adds SwissTransfer hoster. This is a popular temporary file hoster which can be slow to download from for users in some countries. This can make TorBox an excellent choice for downloading SwissTransfer files as they are downloaded extremely fast.
Thanks to our partnership with Cobalt.tools you can now download from YouTube reliably, as well as 20+ more sites that they offer!
Currently no download progress is shown on the dashboard, and size will start out at zero, but as it downloads the size will update, being a way you can see that things are moving. They are working on this, and it will be fixed soon.
Fixes TurboBit downloads.
Fixes Bunkrr downloads.
In the case where a Usenet download’s name is its hash, while the filename is correct, the name will be renamed to the file name, bar any extensions. This will solve some issues with obfuscation.
March 25th, 2025
New
Fixed
Adds support back for Terabytez which was previously removed months ago due to the migration to the new system.
Adds ability to download from HAnime. This is a popular hentai streaming platform which you can now download to TorBox. Simply take a the webpage link of the video you want downloaded and it will be added to your TorBox. There is no download status for this hoster.
Adds support back for HentaiFoundry which was previously removed months ago due to the migration to the new system.
Adds support back for 4Shared which was previously removed months ago due to the migration to the new system.
Adds support back for HexUpload which was previously removed months ago due to the migration to the new system.
Fixes Nexusmods downloader edgecase where some mods return file sizes of null from the API which prevents it from being downloaded.
Fixes Buzzheavier downloads as the website has changed.
Fixes edge case with Turbobit links including parameters which are not handled.
We are still slowly adding back the previously removed hosters and even more!
Notification actions created from completed Usenet download now correctly sends you to the right download page.
March 21st, 2025
New
Fixed
Better handling of Prowlarr magnets and torrent files.
Prowlarr search engines now show “user_search” as true. This is useful for the Stremio addon to properly display.
Added dedicated Dropbox downloader as the previous one could only handle media files such as video and audio. This one can handle all file types.
Added support for APKAdmin hoster. Simply submit the download page of the file you want to download and it will download it, bypassing any ads, popups, or wait times!
Added support for Nexusmods hoster. Simply submit the mod or collection you want downloaded and it will download at max speed (no waiting times or slow downs or limit to concurrent downloads)!
Deleting a WebDAV folder will delete it from your TorBox account. This is useful for users, tools or automations which want to control downloads from the WebDAV! (FTP parity coming soon).
Handles edge-case where links would not get encoded properly and be routed elsewhere. This only happened with select links from Prowlarr user search engines.
March 18th, 2025
New
Improved
Fixed
Fixes settings page to disallow the following while it is still loading data:
Copying API key
Getting a new API key
Viewing subscriptions (will not show placeholder)
Viewing time left on account (will not show placeholder)
Stremio settings do not allow for setting bad changes.
Cache settings must have an option selected.
Quality, Resolution and Language must include the “Unknown” option.
The “Only show streams larger than size (GB)” setting must be less than the “Only show streams smaller than size (GB)” limit.
The “Only show streams smaller than size (GB)” setting must be at least 1, and more than the “Only show streams larger than size (GB)”
New popup with discount for Free users to upgrade to a yearly plan on new torrent being added.
Fixes RSS page live data from causing the page to error out if a request fails.
Removes Sellix CDN script from site.
Free users now use session tokens for authentication with the API rather than API keys as they are no longer able to access the API.
Adds new $1 Pro Trial button to dashboard for Free and never before subscribed users. This allows you to use Pro in full for 24 hours for only $1!
Adds WebTorrent checker to tools page as a direct link so users can quickly verify how many seeders and peers their torrent has. We will eventually be building this directly into the browser in the tools page.
Notifications can now have actions!
Actions are buttons that do an action corresponding to what the notification is about. For example, if there was an error and you need to contact support to get it resolved, the action button will open the support modal to easily contact support. If a torrent finished downloading, it will give you a direct link to the download page of the files.
This feature is extremely powerful, and we will be adding more actions corresponding with notifications in the future.
Cloud transfers, such as to Google Drive, OneDrive, 1Fichier, and GoFile can be cancelled in the middle of the transfer. This allows you to stop transferring at any point in the process and it won’t be uploaded to the cloud.
New background for metadata that cannot be found on the Your Media section. Not a lot of people will see the new background but it is awesome. You can find the image here. Put this as your wallpaper!
Stream lists now show the tracker the search result was from. This is useful for determining what tracker or indexer it was from so you can make better decisions for choosing streams.
Stream lists now show if the file was from a user search engine or not. It will look likeTorBox (User Search) (Instant) (1080p)
for a 1080p cached result from the user’s search engine. Pair this with the above tracker viewer, and you know exactly where a stream is from!
A new error video plays when you are out of slots. This can happen periodically and to the average user it looks like there was a bug in TorBox, when really, their account is out of slots to download the torrent in the first place.
Allows downloading direct Buzzheavier links such as in the format https://buzzheavier.com/dl/XXXXXX
Fixes downloading from Archive.org. Some links weren’t shaped properly when copied from the Archive.org site.
Downloads from Archive.org now show download progress. Previously it would look stuck as we didn’t have reliable status updates.
Baidu downloads have been made more reliable. Links were getting stuck in storage filling it up, which no longer occurs.
Fixes MegaUp downloads.
Fixes Mediafire downloads.
Fixes 1Fichier downloads with bad characters in the name (Non-UTF8).
Cancelling in progress transfer jobs is possible now through the API. API DOCS.
Submitting names to the API are now properly handled when creating Usenet and Web Downloads.
Webhooks sent from the API to user’s configured webhook URL now use the title as the webhook type, such as “Download Ready” to “download.ready” for handling properly in webhooks. This will be documented soon.
Proper API messages when a free user submits their API key to the API.
Fixes some RSS feed links which download a .rss file, or a .xml file rather than returning the RSS feed data directly as content.
Subscriptions with Patreon now fixed.
Usenet files are now normalized to allow for usenet files to be properly cached. When an NZB is added from the same tracker, and is the same file, even from different accounts, it will be cached if actually cached.
Cloud transfers now are more reliable due to using CDN rather than “local storage” files, which can be slow, or have other issues.
More reliable processing.
Fixes torrent ownership. If, for example, 2 users add the same torrent at the same time, one of the users will be the owner of the torrent, rather than duplicates being created. This lead to problems with the database and qBittorrent not being synced, especially with private torrents, where it is far more important.
Cloud transfers should start sooner (instantly), rather than taking minutes or even hours to start due to sharing a queue with other high traffic queues, which could get stuck in the back for a long time.
Torrent updates should be more full on the dashboard with no issues with malformed data.
March 3rd, 2025
New
Improved
Fixed
Added UI section labeled “Search” in the settings. This is where you can access the new Bring Your Own Indexer (BYOI as the community has been calling it) settings. This allows you to add your own indexers or trackers using the NZBHydra2, Jackett or Prowlarr self-hosted apps.
This allows you to get personalized torrents and Usenet results from your own trackers, removing reliance on TorBox’s own search indexers and providers.
This also allows you to stream private torrents from apps like Stremio which use TorBox’s search engine. This is a never before seen feature.
Like mentioned, it works with torrents and Usenet and adding new search engines is very easy.
It works using the API too, so you (and developers) don’t have to do anything extra to use it with existing apps that already use the TorBox Voyager search engine.
Shows the available indexers that it will use.
Added a manual switch in the Search settings for using the BYOI feature in Stremio, as not everyone may want it in Stremio, as it may create longer loading times. This is off by default.
Added a switch in the Stremio settings for using the legacy “Your Media” in the Stremio addon discover page. (More on this in the Stremio section).
Added a switch in the Stremio settings for sorting what type of streams are shown first. You can now choose whether you want Usenet or torrent results first in the list.
Added a switch in the Integration settings for WebDAV labeled, “WebDAV Use Local Files”. This allows you to use the CDN, or not when downloading from the WebDAV. Depending on how you use the WebDAV service, it may be necessary to enable this setting. More information can be found on the settings page.
Fixed mass deleting queued downloads in the settings page.
Adds back Crypto payments which are now being processed through NowPayments.io due to Sellix.io being taken down.
The dashboard now properly updates when you “Stop Seeding” a torrent.
Added clarification about per link size limits on the Hosters page.
Makes it easier to long tap on an item on the dashboard for iOS mobile devices which wanted to select text rather than hold on an item. It will now show the context menu more reliably.
All downloads now show a distinguished “Cached XXX ago” and “Created XXX ago”. This is to better tell how long ago an item was cached, while also not messing up the dashboard.
The Stremio addon can use the BYOI feature recently introduced. Make sure you enable it in the settings.
New “Your Media” section (discover page).
This now shows posters relating to the media rather than basic TorBox posters with text.
Multiple media downloads which relate to the same media will be placed together in the Your Media section. When clicking on a Your Media item, it will now show the proper listing for content based on Season and Episode (if TV) or list the watchable files inside of the media download if a movie.
It now shows full metadata for download items including year, description and even rating.
NOTE: THIS REQUIRES YOU TO RE-INSTALL YOUR TORBOX STREMIO ADDON TO WORK PROPERLY.
“Your Media” in the stream selection page is now more reliable and works even if the torrent/Usenet files are not named properly, it will still match in most cases.
You can now sort by torrent or Usenet in the streams selection page. This allows you to show either torrents or Usenet downloads first. This can be useful, especially for Pro users who only want to stream Usenet downloads.
The addon now uses CDN selection when streaming. Previously it only used the EU when streaming if on the default (Auto) setting. Setting manually used the CDN.
Better streaming performance, less buffering, and shorter start times for most users.
Play next episode now works properly in the addon allowing users to get the Stremio popup for getting the next episode, even inside of “Your Media” listings.
Usenet items now properly show as cached if another user has them cached.
Speed improvements regarding listing files. It no longer requires the filesystem to list files meaning it is very quick due to using the database only. Users with large libraries should no longer time out when viewing their files.
Allows using the CDN when downloading files. This increases reliability, and heavily increases download speed especially for users requiring a CDN to download quickly. This makes streaming over the WebDAV insanely quick now.
Your may get 429 errors when downloading large folders. This is due to the connection limit and request speed when downloading many files at the same time from our CDN which is rate limited and connection limited. We recommend sticking to 1 connection in these cases.
The search API now includes Torrentio when searching for torrents via ID. Torentio has many good sources and is very fast, so it is being used as a backup.
Parameter to enable user search engines when searching the API, search_user_engines
. This will increase the amount of time taken (as you are waiting for responses from more places, and disable caching on any results. API DOCS.
This uses the user’s search engines which they have configured in their settings to search for the torrents/Usenet requests you specify. All work with ID or query.
Minor speed optimizations when searching for torrents.
Fixes Mediafire downloader due to Cloudflare protections.
Fixes NHentai downloader due to Cloudflare protections.
Fixes Qiwi downloader due to Cloudflare protections.
Adds Bunkr downloader. A popular filehoster primarily used for pornography. Known for having lots of ads on its pages, so using TorBox to reliably and safely download from Bunkr is great.
Adds MegaUp downloader. A popular filehoster. Known for having lots of ads and malware on its pages, so using TorBox to reliably and safely download from MegaUp is great.
Adds Anna’s Archive downloader. This is a popular library file hoster with the internet’s largest collection of books freely available to download. TorBox downloads these files extremely fast, which is usually limited to donating users to the site.
Makes Baidu downloader more reliable.
Baidu does not show download speeds or any download status.
Makes DDownload downloader more reliable.
Fixes Datanodes downloader due to new changes.
Better status updates when something fails due to Cloudflare protections.
Overall better reliability of the web downloads system.
Fixes Filer downloader.
Fixes SpankBang downloader.
Fixes Coomer downloader.
Pixeldrain lists and directories can now be downloaded from and added to TorBox.
Adds many more supported hosters.
NOTE: We are aware of Mega.nz downloader issues. This has been disabled for time being. They now disallow pretty much all 3rd party apps from using their API, even their own CLI. We are working on a fix. Please bear with us. You can read more about this issue here, here and here.
Zip downloads now use the CDN making them extremely reliable and fast. Even large downloads with hundreds of files and folders will start downloading relatively quickly and at good speeds. It is CDN based, meaning you will download the zip from the closest server to you (or based off of your CDN settings) making zips very good rather than using the WebDAV or FTP.
We introduced our Beta US CDN. If this test goes good, we will continue expanding the US CDN with this server provider. All new downloads will go to the US CDN as well as the EU CDN as replication.
RSS Feeds now properly update based off of the time given.
Usenet and Web Downloads will now be queued if you are out of active slots to be downloaded later.
Notifications will now tell the reason why a Usenet download failed inside of the message.
Better payment errors.
Pro users are now able to add downloads up to 1TB in size from the previous 500GB!
Download links are now valid for 3 hours before expiry rather than 1 hour.
Fixes some torrents still seeding when added through the Stremio addon if the user’s option is set to “Never”.
Properly sends an email when the user’s account is deleted to confirm deletion.
Cached web downloads will not show download progress.
Seeding torrents properly stop seeding at (or near) their specified seeding time.
The API now distinguishes a “cached_at” date and a “created_at” date. The “cached_at” date is to determine how long ago an item was cached, while “created_at” determines when a download was added to a user’s account.
Fixes some filenames not showing properly and creating a recursive file structure due to not detecting it is a file/folder properly.

Since we re-did RSS feeds, we also had to redo queued downloads as those were also becoming a problem, especially with the increase in new queued downloads (over 1 million), and at the beginning I (Wamy) did not foresee millions of records in a single table, so there became many issues which sprung about due to not being optimized for said millions of records. Luckily the fixes were somewhat simple, and the new features easy to add.
Adds the ability for different types of queued downloads to show up. This includes Usenet and even web downloads being able to be queued. Previously these would simply error, now they can be queued and used just as before.
Queued downloads will be added on time (every hour), as before they would get delayed by minutes, hours and even days, which is not a good experience, especially if you have open slots you want to use.
Updates all SDKs to the latest version to reflect changes in the API.
BREAKING CHANGE: Removes the queued downloads routes at /torrents/controlqueued
, and /torrents/getqueued
. This was due to queued items needing their own route, rather than only being limited to the torrents endpoint. The routes are practically the same with a little more options, so if you are using these endpoints (basically nobody), then you can simply change the route and it will be all good!
Introduces a new route, /queued
, which is where queued endpoints will now live. This is to allow future expansion, and stop any possible confusion when wanting to use queued Usenet downloads or web downloads for example. API DOCS.
Adds the “as_queued” parameter when creating a Usenet download. This way you can keep it in your queued and the system will add it eventually (gets checked every hour). API DOCS.
Adds the “as_queued” parameter when creating a web download. This way you can queue up lots of limited hosters for example, and the system will add each one in time (gets checked every hour). API DOCS.
