Allows you to choose whether your large downloads are zipped prematurely or not. Some people preferred to download their files separately, so now there is a setting to change this behavior. By default, TorBox will zip the files prematurely (if there are over 100 files in the download).
This can be changed on a per-torrent basis or globally. To change per-torrent, click "Advanced Settings" in the "Add Torrent" popup. To change globally, simply flip the switch in the settings.
The dashboard will no longer update if you are idle for more than 30 seconds, or if you are out of the tab. This was changed due to bandwidth prices and data being wasted due to people sitting on the dashboard hours at a time simply idling.
If coming back from idle, simply click anywhere on the screen, and you will start receiving updates again.
If you moved away from the tab, simply come back and click anywhere on the screen and you will start receiving updates again.
Downloads will still update by themselves every 60 minutes automatically.
Fixed some support links around the site.
Fixed the somewhat constant "This torrent was rejected by the server" error. This was due to the torrent being added to the server, but the server not reporting it properly. This was solved by simply deleting the torrent if it was already existing, then adding it again. Sorta a brute force method, but it wastes hardly any data, and works, which our users will appreciate.
Allows you to send allow_zip to the create_torrent endpoint which tells TorBox not to zip the torrent at all when processing.
Does not automatically zip downloads created through Stremio. Previously, users who downloaded season packs or entire show packs would not be able to stream the torrent because it would be automatically zipped by TorBox prematurely as of v4.1. This is no longer the case for downloads created through the Stremio addon.
