v5.0

Website

  • Users now get rate limit errors when adding too much via the Dashboard.

  • Virtualizes search results list so that there is no lag when searches return a lot of results (>200).

  • Adds referral data to subscriptions page so you can see:

    • The number of referred accounts that currently use your code.

    • The total number of purchases your referrals have made using your code.

    • The total number of days earned by your referrals using your code.

    • The total amount of money or value you have theoretically saved by referring.

  • Shows success notification when deleting an item from the dashboard.

  • Puts integrations page behind authentication meaning you have to be logged in to view it.

  • Changes wording of a lot of sections on the main pages.

  • Fixes not all search results showing on search.

  • Deleting an account now requires a confirmation code to be entered which prevents accidental deletions. This was a highly requested and extremely necessary fix.

  • Brand new settings page layout!

  • Adds subscription section to account settings section so that you can manage your subscriptions right from the TorBox website.

  • Adds section for deleting all of your TorBox downloads. Good to purge your account.

API

  • API now returns normalized dates in the format: %Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ. Previously, this was causing issues with some integrations having to write custom parsers as TorBox would include nanoseconds in response times. This also standardizes the entire API to use UTC time.

  • Adds remark about dates on Main API docs.

  • Updates rate limiting for creating downloads. More information at Main API docs.

  • TorBox now keeps track of how many purchases you have referred, and how many users currently use your referral code. This information can be found at the new route /users/referraldata

  • You can send an IP to the /xxx/requestdl routes using the parameter user_ip which will allow you to basically choose the CDN that your user will receive. This is useful for integrations where a main API is making all of the requests, but you still want the user to use the CDN. API DOCS.

  • On the routes /xxx/mylist the API only returns a 404 for empty requests if the id parameter is given.

  • BREAKING CHANGE: On the routes /xxx/checkcached the API now returns an empty object or list if the cache returns nothing. (Yes we will be keeping this endpoint, it’s not going anywhere).

  • Adds Baidu, Twitch, and HexUpload to supported in JDownloader2.

  • Upped rate limits to 60/hour for all creation endpoints (/torrents/createtorrent, etc).

  • You can now request confirmation codes for all sorts of future uses. Right now, it is being used to verify account deletion requests, it will be used for verification of accounts for dangerous things. API DOCS.

  • Allows force starting a queued download from the API (will be added to the UI in coming updates).

Service

  • Allows RSS feeds to include links in <enclosure url=someurl.com/>. Previously we only allowed links in <link>someurl.com</link> .

  • Fixes modifying RSS feeds.

  • Usenet downloads now download at over 800MB/s.

  • Processing downloads are now much faster thanks to insanely fast transfers to our storage servers (over 3x improvement from 250MB/s to nearly 1000MB/s).

  • We are now using our new homemade CDN system to serve new or very popular files, which should increase the download speeds from the majority of our user base.

    • Users in the west side of the world (United States of America, Brazil, Argentina, Canada, etc) now get access to our new CDN system. If the file meets all of the criteria, it will be available to download from https://storage-hyperdrive.west.torbox.app.

    • Users in the eastern side of the world (Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, India, Bangladesh, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, China, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, etc) now also get access to our new CDN system. if the file meets all of the criteria, it will be available to download from https://storage-hyperdrive.apac.torbox.app.

      • We are also throwing countries such as New Zealand, Australia in this list for the time being as they users in these countries will benefit from the APAC region (as it’s closer than the EU).

    • This does not affect download speeds for files served over WebDAV, FTP, Tinfoil, or any other download method not part of our web storage system (https://storage.torbox.app).

    • This also does not affect zip downloads such as those from https://storage-zip.torbox.app.

    • This is completely automatic, and already works with all integrations that use the request download API endpoint, and is based on the client’s region as determined by Cloudflare.

    • If you are not in these regions, such as in the EU, you will still be served files from https://storage.torbox.app, from our servers in the Netherlands, no CDN is needed for you!

  • Normal download speeds from TorBox should be much faster! We have noticed differences at about 10-15% increase (from https://storage.torbox.app links).

  • The “file could not be retrieved” propagation error should be now completely eradicated! As soon as a download is marked as “Ready to Download” it will actually mean that, ready to download!

  • TorBox now supports downloading from Twitch and Baidu! Simply put in a Twitch or Baidu link (and an optional password), and it will download like normal (no status updates right now).

  • Much more reliable debrid downloads. Previously we were seeing failures at up to 30%, now we have seen it down to under 2%. Failures can be due to many different conditions.

  • Faster debrid downloads. Downloads should now start downloading instantly. Previously there was a queue, and if there were a lot in front of yours it could take a long time to begin. We have now fixed this issue.

  • A standard notification is now sent after a purchase was made with a referral code to the user purchasing (the referee).

  • Storage files now reset their expiry every request to allow for things like pausing for an hour and such.

  • Allows more than 1000 torrents to be requested at one time, up to 10000. This allows you to show 10000 on the webdav.

  • Better reliability during processing to reduce failed transfers.

  • Payment confirmations now have a dedicated email so that you know for sure your payment has been processed (along with the standard notifications).

  • Torrents are now checked for illicit content, such as CSAM.

  • A dedicated email is now sent when your account is deleted.

  • Enables limits for specific debrid hosters. This allows for us to better manage abuse of our systems.

Stremio Addon

  • Slightly optimizes searching speeds.

  • Torrent searches now includes searches from Zilean.

FTP

  • Fixes logging into FTP with capitalization in the email.

Search API

Discord Bot

  • The Discord bot is now a Discord verified bot!

Speed Test

  • The speed test page now includes test files for the US and Singapore CDN’s.
