  3. On the download page, now locate the specific media file you want to stream and click "Download".

  4. A bunch of download options will show up. Click the one that says "Copy Link".

  5. Now the link has been copied to your clipboard, you may open the VLC app and click "Media" in the top left.

  6. Next in the menu that shows up, click "Open Network Stream".

  7. Next paste in the link from TorBox, and click play! (Your link may look like this, or it may not, depending on what server the file is located on).
