New
Improved
Fixed

Well, version 2. It has been a lot of bug fixes. A lot of new features. A lot of new designs. Here are some interesting stats:
Frontend
37 hours, 2 minutes spent coding
169 commits
Backend
63 hours, 7 minutes spent coding
194 commits
That's a lot of time to get to this point. Its something to be proud of though. So far the service is the best looking UI I have ever built, thanks to Fero. Not just the design, but other than a few other projects, (and after the rewrite) this is my most bullet proof API as well. It was a lot to get to this point, but I want to thank everyone in my Discord as well as other service who gave me very constructive advice and bugs to fix. All that time together, we have created something awesome and something that I believe will last for a long time. Enough with the gushy stuff, here is what has changed.
The IDM and Jdownloader buttons have been combined into one "Add to Download Manager" button. This also "allows" user for users who like pyload or downthemall without making things confusing.
Downloading folders is a little bit more intuitive and user friendly thanks to the popup. You can now see exactly what buttons do.
The "Currently ______" text on the torrents has been made a little bit more intuitive and user friendly as some of the previous statuses were a little difficult to understand.
Torrents are now triple checked before being marked as "Inactive" and not being allowed to download anymore.
Torrents on the dashboard actually update now. IDK what I did to break it, but it's fixed now.
Rewrote the satellite network to be more like a cluster rather than forcing a torrent to only go to one satellite. Instead its now distributed based off of load, storage space, and other factors.
You now get web notifications when the torrent has gone inactive.
Added bot detection using Cloudflare's turnstile for logging in.
When adding torrrents, only free user's have to wait for the captcha to complete. If you are on a paid plan, you get to skip the captcha process (takes less than 5 seconds).
The satellite relays can now handle infinite users rather than crashing on high load.
I am excited to continue working on this project, and hopefully the launch on Reddit in a few days goes well. This will bring a lot of new users to TorBox.
