30% off All TorBox (Stremio + Real-Debrid Alternative) Plans - Essential US$2.1/Month, Standard US$3.5/Month, Pro US$7/Month

1010

If you're planning to move away from Real-Debrid after their anti-piracy changes, TorBox are currently having their Black Friday sale with 30% off all their plans ending Dec 1.

They're currently having some server issues due to the massive influx of new users coming from RD, but are adding new servers tomorrow to handle the traffic and will compensate users for the downtime. I've bought a subscription and even with the server issues it seems to currently work fine for me with their Stremio addon.

The Essential plan should be enough for most people, and is cheaper than Real-Debrid's pricing. Also TorBox are based in South Africa unlike Real-Debrid and AllDebrid which are based in France, so are unlikely to shut down any time soon.

From their website:

All prices are already discounted by 30%, no coupon needed!

After December 1st, all prices will go back to their respective original prices.

The prices for subscriptions are for the first purchase only, the following months will be at the regular price. We recommend you purchase an annual plan to take advantage of this deal!

Payments stack! Take advantage of the discount by purchasing multiple months or years at once!

By purchasing before Monday, November 25th, you understand that the service is massively limited due to influx of new users and may not work as expected. Don't purchase if you expect everything to work perfectly right now. Please give us a few days. Thanks!

What is Stremio + TorBox/Real-Debrid?
In short, basically like a Netflix sub for US$2.1/month but with content from pretty much every streaming service.

What is Stremio?
It's an open source app similar to Plex/Kodi available on Windows, Mac, Linux, Google Play with over 10+ million installs. (4.2/5 rating). Most of the streams are 1080p/4K.

What is TorBox/Real-Debrid?
It downloads and caches torrent files remotely and then streams the content to you, so you never have an issue with ISP complaints. If you have a torrent link that is not already cached, you can add it to TorBox and it will download it for you and make it available to view in Stremio.

  • Interesting, what is it exactly?

    • If you're familiar with Real-Debrid it's very similar to it, allows you to download torrents and other online content a lot easier with a direct download link. If you use it with Stremio you can basically watch any content (movies, tv shows, etc.) on demand like Netflix.

        I didn't post it bro

          • @cydia9k: Anyone can just google

          • +2

            @cydia9k: And obviously you were born out of your mother knowing this information?

            • +1

              @leeroys_dad: The barrier to entry has never been this low. Almost zero knowledge required to get sailing on the high seas, leads to people handing Stremio credentials around as casually as a Netflix account.. of course this is going to bring increased attention and pressure to shut down.

              TorBox is safe in the short term being run from SA, but it runs like crap currently due to the influx of new traffic.

      • +1

        If you think the authorities aren’t already aware of this you’re a fool.

  • Is there a quick overview of how to migrate from RD?

    • +3

      For me it was pretty simple, you just need to install their addon (https://support.torbox.app/en/articles/9836760-how-to-watch-…). Right now the amount of cached content isn't as good as RD but should get better since there are so many new users. If you have a torrent link you can add it to TorBox and it will download it for you and make it available to view in Stremio.

      • Should we uninstall RD torrentio or just leave it sitting there in event they have a plan b?

        • It's up to you if you want to continue using RD, if it works fine then there's no issue keeping torrentio. I've refunded my RD subscription because I'm not sure if it will continue working in the future + TorBox works well enough for me.

          • @zmv: How you get a refund

            • @Jklaro: You should be able to do it through their support page, keep in mind it's a prorated refund if you've used it for a while.

              • @zmv: Argh, I have closed my 28d card which I used for the RD payment. I wonder how I'd be able to still organize a refund :/

          • @zmv: hey tell me about the speed in playback comapred to RD in aus? for me RD took betwee n5 to 10 sec to load, how quick is torbos with 4k files on the larger side or even average size

            • @Roe Jogan: People that reqeust refunds have been getting permanently banned/ip blocked.. consider in case you want to utilise in the future

              • +1

                @crazy94boy: we churn NBN providers enough to get a new IP

              • +2

                @crazy94boy: I renewed a few days ago and won't be asking for a refund as I would like to support them for the great work they have done. Good on them to ban people asking for refunds.

  • Need to remove your referral link from the deal post.

    • If I'm not mistaken the referral link should be added to the bottom of the post so a mod can add it to the automated system (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/wiki/help:deal_posting_guidelin…). Referees get 7 days free so the benefit isn't just for the referrer.

      • Referees get 7 days free so the benefit isn't just for the referrer.

        no, but the 15 days referral bonus for you is nice
        :)

      Yeah i got a warning for alluding to one in a comment already :(

      Double standard, mods? It can be in OP's post, but can't even allude to it in a comment on another post?

        • Firstly, I ain't Batman. Mentioning mod in a comment with 16 million comments doesn't summon me. (I just happened to see this post and comment).
        • Secondly, you were sent the commenting guidelines:

        Affiliate links, referral links or referral codes or mention of being qualified to refer someone should not be posted in comments. You should not link to your own deals if you are in the OzBargain referral system (Uber Eats, iHerb etc.). Do not comment asking for people to private message (PM) you for a referral/affiliate link.

        But but what if I want a referral added to the system…

        Yes, we have a thread for that, User-Submitted Referral Code/Link Requests & Updates

        Let's see what the guidelines linked to the OP say:

        Referral links & codes are prohibited almost* everywhere on OzBargain; this includes all deal, forum and classified posts and comments. Referral links & codes can however be added to our automated referral system from My Account - Edit - Referrals. Do not solicit referrals by any means in your posts (e.g. asking users to PM you, drawing attention to the referral system, or linking to your own deal posts if you are in the OzBargain referral system for that merchant). Affiliate links are prohibited on OzBargain.

        EXCEPTIONS:

        Competition referral links (to gain entries) ARE permitted in competition comments but NOT in the competition post.

        If you have a referral link or code for a deal you are posting AND it is not in the automated system, please add it to the bottom of your post & a moderator will add it into the referral system (and remove it from your post).

        Can I post a deal for the Referral offer itself?

        If the retailer offers a referral program, you may post it as a deal (e.g. signup to ABC site via referral code and earn $10 credit) if all of the following conditions are met:
        The referee also earns a benefit (e.g. credit, discount, etc.).
        The current offer has NOT been posted as a deal previously.
        It is a limited time referral offer for the referee or it is a new addition to the OzBargain referral system (added less than 7 days ago).


        I've now removed the link, added it into the automated referral system. As for this deal, staff will look at it in the morning. I'm going to sleep.

          Thanks boss, good to know. I'll be more careful to keep in the rules.

  • wrekd in under 24hrs.. I'm surprised op didn't use all caps

  • I'm slightly confused, the difference between the Essential & Standard plan is 3-> 5 users & seeding 24 hr ->2wks & $us23.10 -> $us38.50

    can you add your Private trackers & make this a seedbox? I don't quite understand why the you'd pay the extra?

    • I tried with a private tracker on the Essential plan and it works, I think the only difference is the extra seeding time is important for the private trackers where you have to maintain your seeding ratio to keep using it. The concurrent slots is the number of things you can download simultaneously, 3 -> 5 isn't that big of a difference for me imo so I think the Essential plan is better for most people.

      • Do you get a good ratio using Torbox?

  • +18

    Gonna wait for things to settle down a bit over the next week or 2. RD is still sorta working with the torrentio "fix"

    • Still a lot of benefits to look at switching from RD to TB

      • The Pro with Usenet is a unique proposition. Cheaper than getting a Usenet provider and a Debrid seperately.

    • +1

      DMM also has a fix for RD. Basically the cache status will end up being hosted by add-ons instead of being provided by RD. In time, functionally there’ll be no difference.

  • +6

    Keep in mind the amount of cached content is vastly lower than that of RD.

  • I use onstream currently on my TV and it's working well, but I am keen to try this out. What's the benefit of moving to stremio?

    • Convenience and ease of use

  • Is this a proper alternative to RD with kodi when it goes bust?

  • Is there any way to get this for watching sports, e.g. NBA or UFC PPVs?

    • +1

      Not really the use case for something like this, you might be more interested in an IPTV solution

      • IPTV do you have to watch live or can watch on demand? Know nothing about about it works

        • Depends on the service but a lot of them have both available

    • +5

      Give these a go.

      https://stremio-addons.netlify.app/mediafusion-elfhosted. < You need to set it up with advanced settings to choose sports

      https://stremio-addons.netlify.app/usa-tv
      This one has US TV channels

      • Any PPV “punching/jiu jitsu” fights?

        • sorry not sure. I only found out about it a few days ago.

          There is a subheading for "combat sport events" though so not sure what would normally be in there. I assume it would only be the bigger name fighters if they do it

      • Thanks, will take a look

    • Theres kodi addons like the loop that do the job. you can install simple iptv addon with it to for a tv guide style.

  • what about torrentio? is that shutting down?

    • +4

      You've got your components confused. Torrentio is a middleman between Stremio and RD

  • Speaking of stremio, any good IPTV subscriptions that someone could recommend?

    • +1

      I’ve been with vuetune IPTV since May 2024 and so far happy with them.

      • Any family IPTV accounts going? Are they allowed in classifieds?

    • Yeah I'd be keen to know too!😄

  • Stremio and Kodi are still working fine with RD after the devs updated.

    • Just loaded up American dad s3 e2 , and yeah, it does still work!

    • DMM keeping it alive..

    Paying to pirate stuff…

    • +13

      Paying for convenience

      • +10

        I’d be happy to pay for a convenient legit service. But nooooooo arbitrary region restrictions and licensing issues just gotta make it a pain in the ass.

        • +5

          Yeah, there's a reason Steam was such a successful online marketplace even in regions where piracy was rampant

          People are more than willing to pay when it's convenient and reasonable

        • I paid for Netflix back in the day, when the US DNS stuff worked, and my preference would be to pay legit providers, but now that they all want $30/month and it's spread across a bunch of different services I'll pay people who give me the convenience of streaming what I want when I want.

          They can either cry about it or fix what they broke.

      • +3

        Yeah streaming services are no longer convenient. On top of that amazon prime has ad's like wtf.

    • Good gate keeping job. Kept yourself out. 🫡

    • +1

      Pay to pirate eventually gets shut down

    • streaming 200gb bluray remuxes aint too bad

    • Your internet usage is free? Where do I sign up??

    Torbox bout to be ozbargained

    • The whole Internet knows about them since last week, so OzBargain traffic must be meh for them.

  • My real debrid still works.

    • Doesn't mean it can't be improved :)

  • +4

    For all the carry on about Rd, it hasn't had a single impact on my Stremio content so far

    That said, thanks OP, more options the better

    • It has, you just weren't checking yesterday. DMM will revive it for now

  • +1

    So you have to add what you want to watch manually from your own sources? seems lame, might as well just download and watch, unless it actually gives you a gui with hundreds of shows available to just watch natively like your standard streaming servcies.

    • It also provides you access to other users downloaded / cached content so if another user has downloaded something you want you can stream it at will, no additional download required

      • ok, so you can see everything currently available? and it deletes after 30days?

        • Not really "everything" but you can go to something and see if there is content available for it and yeah stays downloaded for 30 days, if more people access the cached content it extends it

          There's a free tier available to kind of trial it out and see what content is available

  • Damn didn't know about the new anti-piracy measures of RD. My RD still works, just renewed few days ago.. How is TorBox overall?

    • Limping right now, wait another day or two to see how it plays after their new infrastructure comes online

    • Yep exactly same here. Only learnt of it all now. And also just renewed last week.

  • +1

    RD still working… Will consider alternatives if/when it's gone.

  • there was a short outage but it has been working again ok lately

  • +6

    I can't help but selfishly wish this kind of information wasn't on front page of ozbargain. Less attention drawn to these services the better.

    • +1

      To be honest I'm somewhat surprised it's allowed as well, given it's just a torrenting provider really

      • +2

        technicallyyyyyy you could be using this as a cache for legitimate torrents, and file shares.
        The only legit torrents I could think of are Linux Distros and Archive.org

        • Which is absolutely what all of us are using it for. What else are we meant to fill our OzB sourced NAS with?

  • +1

    Great post minus the shameless referral plug.

  • i noticed it also offers usenet too… i wonder if it's anygood? Mine just auto renewed for a year with tweaknews, was about 90aud for a year, i wonder if i can kill two birds here with one stone?

  • According to the dev, new servers come online around midday Tuesday 26th (AEST).
    Hopefully stability is returned

    • What ISP? name and shame :/

        • +1

          Cloudflare Warp does the job for me getting onto some sites with no performance hit. Could it be a DNS-level block? could set it to Google's or CloudFlare's:
          https://developers.cloudflare.com/1.1.1.1/setup/windows/

        • DNS?

        • Oh damn, I'm with Superloop too - how do you know that they block it?

          • @poppingtags: i click on the link or search for the site and it times out

            • @LibreFish: Oh, that's weird - I can access the site and have purchased a subscription, its just not loading on Stremio. Might be a setting with your router, as @Vavoom has mentioned?

        • Just change your DNS server on your router. Use 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8

    • +1

      I thought mine (Leaptel) was blocking it too but turns out I just had to add torbox.app to the allowed site list on my eero's router via their app.

      • Dang. Benefit of having a eero system I'm jealous of. Nest here and struggling to find that. Pretty sure I'm out of luck
