VIDEO GUIDE BELOW!

Been seeing a lot of people worried about the current Debrid situation, so I figured I’d share my experience with TorBox since I’ve been using it pretty heavily with Stremio.

The biggest advantage for me personally is the combination of Debrid + Usenet support. I use the $10 Usenet option and honestly, if anyone’s on the fence about whether the Usenet upgrade is worth it, I genuinely recommend it. Not to mention new user discounts are available, so don’t miss those.

TB community manager midnightignite also hosts a AIOstreams instance and they have simple Torbox setup templates too makes it easy to setup!

Another huge advantage is that TorBox allows account sharing across your own devices/household without the paranoia some other services give people about getting instantly nuked for watching from multiple devices. For families or people with multiple setups, that’s honestly really nice.

But if you want even better results, my personal indexer recommendations are: • Ninja Central • NZBGeek

Those have worked extremely well for me with TorBox without needing to self host!

There are also free indexers that work through the NewsNab addon from AIO, which you can add into Stremio and pull a ridiculous amount of content from.

One thing I’ll be honest about: TorBox’s cache is not as massive as some older services yet. YET it keeps growing everyday and with the influx of new users more now. RD has been a letdown since the legal issue in 2024 and had to get rid of its chache.

BUT honestly, the Usenet side makes up for that massively because Usenet retention is huge and a lot of content is stored long term. I consistently find: • more streams • obscure content • older content • hidden/niche releases • content in my native language that I genuinely could not find through normal torrent/debrid streams

That native language part especially has been a massive win for me. Not to mention usenet downloads stay in your account for a month so you don't have to download to your storage and fill it up like normal Usenet.

Another thing I’ve noticed: I personally haven’t experienced the takedown issues that started affecting other services recently. Besides a few hours of downtime once in a blue moon, it’s been smooth for me, and they even compensated users for downtime, which I respected.

Also, the more people that join and use it, the better the ecosystem gets overall and the community itself is great and super helpful! https://discord.gg/torbox

Edit: For anyone wondering what Usenet actually is:

Think of it like a massive long-term content archive instead of relying only on torrents and cached files. A lot of content stays available for YEARS because of retention, which is why it’s amazing for: • obscure/older content • niche releases • native language content • stuff with low seeders • higher chance of finding working streams

That’s why I personally pair Usenet with Debrid instead of relying on cache alone. They complement each other really well.
