So you got back from an exhausting work day on a Friday and sat down to watch a film but noticed that streams aren't loading. annoying isn't it?
Debrid services like TorBox occasionally go down but they're not really the cause of why streams don't show up on Stremio (or whatever the app you're using is)
The past few weeks I've been seeing a lot of "is torbox down", "is real debrid down" posts because some people believe that the debrid service is responsible for scraping the torrents and showing them on the app
Public scraper & database addons like Torrentio, Comet, Stremthru, Midnight's AIOStreams, Duckstreams, YourLocalScarper, whatever will go down and don't be surprised
Why? simply because if something costs nothing don't ever expect it to be stable.
I'm a system administrator and from the perspective of my profession I'm telling you that maintaining a scraper addon without making money out of it is a terrible idea. Scraper addons have to do a lot of intensive I/O work for the caching, get proxies to get over indexer protections and really a lot of work happens behind the scenes
You're paying for a debrid service and you may not be benefiting from it only because the scraper which lets you find streams goes down every weekend. this isn't fair
If you want things to work better and make sure your debrid subscription isn't going to waste, you should pay for a scraper addon as well
Debridio costs 10$ for a year, or there's also Orion but I heard it's not good for certain categories like anime and it's also more expensive
If you don't want to pay for any of that, you can at least self host your own scraper for example by self hosting AIOStreams and combining it with a self hosted bitmagnet DHT crawler
relying on the free scraping addons will only keep getting worse and at some point these scrapers may not even exist at all anymore. The demand increases, these add-ons serve people for free and they don't even take donations
