TorBox has updated the Fair Use Policy to count cached transfers due to all the shtheads who are oversharing accounts/selling API keys and slowing down the servers.

May 6: "Which transfers count?

Any transfer that is not served from TorBox's cache counts towards your usage threshold. Cached transfers do not count towards this limit."

May 20: "Which transfers count?

Incoming Transfers:

• Any uncached transfer from the Internet to TorBox.

Outgoing Transfers:

• Any transfer from TorBox to your device.
• Any transfer from TorBox to the Internet. (seeding, hoster uploads, etc)."

"Any transfer" means streaming is counted too. But only the amount you actually watched. So if you open a 90GB file and immediately close it, you may only have streamed 50 megabytes. If you quit watching a movie halfway, it would only count half of the size, etc. So it's safe to open large files to check them. It will only count the amount of data you actually streamed.

To monitor your usage, they have added a new graph to your user account menu which shows the last 30 day bandwidth usage. You can check your usage there.

People who download uncached torrents can disable seeding via "Settings: Website: Default Seed Torrents: Never", if you aren't on a private tracker and don't care about ratio.

The fair use limits are different per tier. These are their lowest limits (floor) of enforcements, so if you are below these you are not affected:

• Essential - 10TB/month (10000 GB)
• Standard - 20TB/month (20000 GB)
• Pro - 30TB/month (30000 GB)

Are you a normal person? Then you won't notice anything. Even if you insist on watching 90 GB videos, you would have to watch 111 movies (8 hours per day every day) on the Essential plan. And if you watch 20 GB files, it is around 500 movies. And if you watch "Netflix 4K" it is around 1250 movies. That's a real example of how big 10 terabytes is.

Hopefully they continue to adjust fair use limits to get rid of the major abuse that is slowing down the servers for everyone else.

And for anyone saying they're leaving over this: Where will you move? Back to Real-Debrid which bans you if you connect from two different IPs and where 80% of the content is deleted? Or to All-Debrid which is also in France and subject to the same laws as RD? Or to the $10 Premiumize which lets you download 30 gigabytes per day (they give you 30 points per day which is the currency for bandwidth)?

Serious Update: A growing number of users are claiming that they don't count actual bandwidth usage, and instead immediately count the full size of the torrent as soon as you start streaming any file. Which quickly racks up usage if you just check a single episode of a multi-episode torrent or peek into a large file. Others are claiming that it doesn't count the entire season size for them. We need to test this more and need to DEMAND actual usage counting. 🙈 Discuss testing about that here. When testing, keep in mind that bandwidth usage does NOT update in realtime! It might be every 30 minutes, every hour, or longer! We just know that it's delayed.

When I was 8 years old, I visited a flea market alone and found an artillery shell for sale. I understood that it was some kind of bomb, and it looked really cool so I bought it for a dollar. It was as thick as my leg and as long as half my arm.

I kept the artillery shell in my bedroom, and really wanted to make it explode, so I threw it onto the pavement in front of me while walking (multiple times), and even tried throwing it out of my 4th floor balcony.

It was most likely deactivated, but it was a random flea market item so imagine if it wasn't? What the hell was I thinking?

Today I managed to find the exact shell online (see pictures). It was a Japanese World War 2 shell with 18 pounds (8.5 kg) of explosives. 🫪

I Socialdemokraterna och Vänsterpartiet kommunisterna röstade i princip alla ledamöter ja till att legalisera barnporr.

Personer med namn som statsminister Olof Palme (S) och statsminister Ingvar Carlsson (S). Olof Palme var statsminister med vänster-regering vid tillfället.

Ingen minister i vänster-regeringen uttryckte reserva­tioner mot justitie­minister Lennart Geijers (S) förslag att utvidga definitionen av yttran­de­frihet till att inkludera legalisering av barnporr.

Vänstern ignorerade experters utlåtanden om att barnporr borde förbli olagligt. Istället skrev vänstern ny lag där all barnporr legaliserades, och i princip alla av dem röstade för barnporr-legaliseringen.

"Kommittén för lagstiftningen om yttrande- och tryckfrihet, den statliga utredning som 1969 lämnade förslag till att brottet "sårande av tukt och sedlighet" skulle avskaffas, föreslog att barnpornografi även i fortsättningen skulle vara förbjuden. Beskrivningar av sexuella övergrepp mot barn skulle enligt utredningens förslag inte tillhöra den pornografi som borde legaliseras. 27 av 37 remissinstanser tillstyrkte en sådan fortsatt kriminalisering av barnpornografi.

Trots varningarna från expertinstanser så innehöll Justitiedepartementets (S) proposition däremot ingen kriminalisering av bilder på sexuella övergrepp mot barn, utan all pornografi legaliserades 1972."

När vänster-propositionen om att legalisera barnporr nådde det för riksdagens båda kamrar gemensamma konstitutionsutskottet hände - ingenting. Den socialdemokratiska majoriteten tillstyrkte förslaget utan reservationer.

Vänstern kämpade även emot senare försök att göra det olagligt igen, genom att de styrde justitie-utskottet via Lena Hjelm-Wallén (S).

När Centerpartiets Karin Söder i februari 1975 riktade kritiska frågor om barnpornografin till justitieministern Lena Hjelm-Wallén (S), svarade denne avvärjande att "det förefaller inte (…) ändamålsenligt att ingripa mot pornografi med ett visst innehåll, hur frånstötande det än kan te sig."

Vänsterns lagändring ledde till att exempelvis Expressen publicerade annonser för att sälja barnporr med namnet "Children Love 2-17".

När äntligen höger-regering (som bestod av Centerpartiet, Folkpartiet och Moderaterna) fick makten 1979 så införde de förbud mot barnporr, vilket trädde i kraft 1a Januari 1980.

Den 1 juli 1993 höjdes sedan maxstraffet för barnpornografibrott av höger-regering bestående av Moderaterna, Centerpartiet, Folkpartiet och Kristdemokraterna, med Carl Bildt (M) som statsminister, mandatperiod 1991-1994.

Vänstern vägrar nu att svara på frågor om varför de kämpade för att barnporr ska vara lagligt.

"Nämen det var ju förr, så vi behöver inte ställas till svars för det nu" säger de. Jasså så ni håller med om att det förflutna inte definierar nutiden, men bara när det passar er?

Summering:

• Vänster-regeringen ignorerade experters varningar om att man inte borde legalisera barnporr, och legaliserade det ändå, med stor majoritet och noll tveksamhet inom sina partier.

• Vänster-regeringen vägrade göra barnpornografi olagligt igen trots att de konfronterades av oppositionen. De svarade att barnporr ska förbli lagligt.

• Höger-regeringen tillträdde tio år senare och gjorde omedelbart barnporr olagligt den 1a Januari 1980. Ytterligare en höger-regering skärpte straffen ännu mer år 1993.

• Det finns en del muppar i kommentarsfältet nedan som inte orkar kolla upp någonting och hittar på sin egen historia. Så här är ett riksdagsdokument från 1994 som bekräftar att det blev olagligt att sprida eller producera barnporr den 1a Januari 1980 (av högern) och att straffet skärptes 1993 (av högern). De utredde även att göra innehav olagligt men den frågan var ute på remiss-instanser och blev inte klart under högerns mandatperiod. Se här: https://lagen.nu/dir/1994:117

It is simply way too much work to port the code and content of such a massive mod. They also can't open source it because it contains third party licensed content that can't be redistributed.

Any ideas what endgame content mods might take its place in Enhanced?

PS: They will still do bugfixes, balancing and content updates for the Legacy version of AoC. For those staying there. My favorite server Alaska Mountaineer will stay on Legacy for this reason.

• This is a public service announcement to help people prepare.
• If you play on a modded private server, people assumed they would be able to install "Legacy" and just keep playing with the same old mods, to avoid losing their world. This was important, since many mods are abandoned and will NEVER be updated to Enhanced edition, so the only way to avoid server wipes was to stay on the Legacy game with old mods.
• We now have confirmation from Funcom that it WON'T be possible to stay on MODDED Legacy servers.
• Conan Exiles Enhanced will OVERWRITE the current Steam game, and will take over its entire Steam Workshop.
• The Legacy version will just become a "branch" which you select via Properties > Beta Versions > Legacy.
• The Legacy version will therefore be hanging onto the exact same Steam Workshop as the latest Enhanced game version.
• As soon as ANY mod in the single, shared Steam Workshop is updated to support the Enhanced edition of the game, the Legacy private server (and player computers) will also auto-update itself to that newer mod version and will break (since Enhanced and Legacy mods are incompatible with each other). And no, the Steam Workshop does NOT support downloading older versions of mods, and in fact does not even have any mechanism to detect that the Legacy game branch won't support the newest mod version.
• This exact scenario is NOT a theory. It ALREADY happened in mid-2025 with another game, ARK Survival Evolved, which released a regular update called Aquatica which broke EVERY mod. And since many super popular mods are abandoned and will never be updated, it broke EVERY modded server and player numbers fell by -70%. The backlash was massive and they were forced to put a "preaquatica" branch under Beta Versions (exactly what Conan is doing). Players and server owners then manually switched to that older game version. But since the game workshop is shared, major mod authors all decided to never release any Enhanced/Aquatica versions of their mods on the Steam Workshop since they would then break Legacy servers. This was aided by the fact that most people hated Aquatica, so actively refusing to support it was easy.
• We have a WORSE situation with Conan. Lots of core/admin mods that servers have been relying on are abandoned, thus forcing servers to either apocalypse (wipe and go to Enhanced with different mods) or stay on Legacy with old mods. And since Conan Enhanced looks like a fantastic update, mods on the Workshop will be updated to support it. Thus breaking Legacy servers that relied on the Legacy version of that mod.
• Of course, intentionally breaking modded Legacy servers like this and consolidating the player base on Enhanced edition is better for the developers, because it basically lights a fire under mod developers butts to push everyone to support their new game version, which means more mods will come to Enhanced edition. Just sad that it will lead to completely wiping big servers where people have spent years building their homes.
• So if you are playing on a modded private server, it's time to mentally prepare for a server wipe if it relies on abandoned Legacy mods.

Proof that Enhanced WILL overwrite the Legacy mod workshop (they're doing the exact same thing ARK did):

"How will I be able to access the update?

If you already own Conan Exiles on Steam, it will be updated to Conan Exiles Enhanced on May 5th. The UE4 version will remain available to those who want to play it. Players will be able to find it by locating Conan Exiles Enhanced in their Steam libraries, opening the Properties, and selecting “Conan Exiles Legacy” in the “Game Versions & Betas” tab."

Edit: Someone mentioned that Steam Workshop added game versioning support in January 2026.

https://store.steampowered.com/news/group/4145017/view/497183817277113900

It says that it requires that mod authors themselves carefully tag the upload with which game versions are supported. Hopefully Funcom can mass-tag all existing mods for Legacy. If mod authors don't tag the game versions properly, it sounds like it would be a mess anyway.
