Why Are My Download Links Not Working?

TorBox download links are temporary. Here’s why they may expire, fail, or show 429 errors.

Why Download Links Stop Working

TorBox download links are valid for 3 hours.

After 3 hours, the link expires and may stop working. If this happens, return to your TorBox dashboard and generate a new download link.

Common Issues

An expired or rate-limited link can show up in a few different ways:

  • The link no longer opens and returns an invalid presigned token error

  • The download fails in your browser or download manager

  • You see 429 / Too Many Requests

  • The download starts, then stops partway through

Solution

Create a new download link from your TorBox dashboard.

If you are using a download manager, such as IDM or JDownloader, set the max connections to 4 or less.

Please also avoid using the same download link in more than one app, device, or download manager at the same time. This can trigger rate limits and cause the download to fail.

Recommended settings

  • Max connections: 4 or less

  • Use one device or app per link

  • Generate a new link after 3 hours

The max connection limit may change later, but 4 or less is currently recommended.
