Two issues — one small, one urgent:

**1) Discord invite broken**
I tried to join the Discord for support but the invite link shows
"expired or invalid". Could someone post a working invite?
Meanwhile, posting the technical issue here.

**2) CatBox pod appears half-dead (needs a bounce/inspection)**

My CatBox (v0.86.0) accepts submissions but its TorBox-facing worker
seems completely dead:

THE SMOKING GUN (from CatBox Dashboard):
- "0 sent to TorBox" API calls, 0 B/s throughput, 0/300 rate limit used
- Meanwhile submissions keep getting ACCEPTED in Activity

SYMPTOMS (since ~July 2, 02:54):
- Every new grab: ACCEPTED with correct file count/size, torrent-<hash>
folder created under /storage/symlinks/downloads/sonarr/, but ZERO
symlinks written inside → Sonarr: "No files found are eligible for import"
- Affects everything: One Piece S03 (Kitsune), Spider Noir S01 (FLUX),
Barry S03 (NTb) — anime and regular TV alike
- CatBox Torznab indexer endpoint also stopped responding in Prowlarr

RULED OUT:
- TorBox plan: account was stuck on Free despite active Pro — TorBox
restored it to Pro, but fresh grabs after the restore still fail
- API key: re-pasted a fresh key in CatBox Config (change takes effect
immediately per the UI)
- *arr wiring: re-ran the Step 4a setup cleanly, download client tests pass
- Files themselves: fine on TorBox, playable via FileBrowser under
/storage/torbox/__all__/
- Heal full scan: 0 removed / 451 checked — old symlinks all healthy

Looks like the linker/worker inside the pod died while the web frontend
stayed up. Could someone bounce the pod or check the worker logs?
Happy to share my tenant name via DM.

Thanks!

Hi! Running into a symlink creation issue on my CatBox instance (v0.86.0, TorBox Essential).

**Symptom:**
My *arrs submit releases to CatBox, they get ACCEPTED (correct file count + size shown in Activity), and torrent-<hash> folders are created under /storage/symlinks/downloads/sonarr/ — but the folders stay EMPTY (0 files). Sonarr then fails with "No files found are eligible for import".

**Examples from CatBox Activity:**
- 03:19:39 ACCEPTED One.Piece.S03.REPACK.1080p.CR.WEB-DL.DUAL.DDP2.0.H.264-Kitsune — 17 files, 24.8 GB, from sonarr:8989
- 03:29:44 ACCEPTED Spider Noir.S01.1080p.AMZN.WEB-DL.DDP5.1.Atmos.H.264-FLUX — 8 files, 23.6 GB, from sonarr:8989

Both accepted cleanly, both folders empty. Affects anime AND regular TV, so it's not release-specific.

**What I've verified:**
- Files are fine on TorBox — playable via FileBrowser under /storage/torbox/__all__/
- Heal full scan: 0 removed / 451 checked — existing (older) symlinks are all healthy
- Library roots correctly discovered (including series-anime), 5 *arrs wired
- TorBox API key re-validated (recently downgraded Pro → Essential; issue exists before and after the key update)
- Older grabs imported fine — new symlink creation stopped working around 02:54 today

Looks like the linker service is accepting but silently failing to write new symlinks. Could someone check the linker logs on my tenant? Happy to provide details via DM.

Thanks!

I have torbox essential, easynews, nbzgeek, and drunkenslug. Torbox already loads fast so I'm not concerned with that but with usenet ultimate 4k plan the Usenet links are all going thru Zyclops but take 25 seconds to load while easynews links are fast. What elfhosted plan is designed to play all Usenet links fast or is my setup just wrong?

Been running FlareSolverr for a long time for my *arr stack and got tired of the 11-18s solve times and constant breakage. Built TRAWL as a drop-in replacement!

Key differences:

• Cloudflare solves in 4-15s (vs 11-18s) - uses a fresh Camoufox Firefox context which triggers CF's fast-path evaluation
• Cached repeat requests return in ~500ms via Redis - after the first solve, the same domain is instant
• Actually solves in-page captchas: Turnstile (shadow DOM click), reCAPTCHA v2 (free Google STT audio), hCaptcha (auto-pass), GeeTest v4
• 4-tier execution: plain HTTP → cached session → live browser solve → residential proxy. You pay the full browser cost only when you have to
• Custom headers support - pass Authorization, Referer, Origin through all 4 tiers including browser
• FlareSolverr v2 compatible - change one URL in Prowlarr/Jackett, nothing else
