TorBox Manager is a Windows desktop application that acts as a queue manager for an online service called TorBox. TorBox is a debrid service, which means it downloads files (such as torrents or links from file hosters) on its own servers, scans them, and then offers them back to users as a normal high-speed download. This app gives you a desktop window for that workflow instead of clicking around in a browser tab, and the README notes it is aimed at people switching over from a similar service called Real-Debrid. The app accepts several kinds of input. You can paste magnet links, drop .torrent files, paste links from hosters such as 1Fichier, Mega, or Pixeldrain, and add .nzb files for Usenet. All of these show up in a single table with status, size, seeds and peers (for torrents), and a progress bar. For torrents that contain many files, you can pick which ones you actually want before the download starts. There is a setting to cap how many local downloads run at the same time, and a Download All button that feeds the next item into a free slot as each one finishes. Installation is meant to be light. You download a single file called TorBox_Manager.exe from the Releases page on GitHub, put it anywhere on your machine, and double-click it. There is no installer, no admin rights, no Python install needed. The first launch asks for your TorBox API key (which you copy from your TorBox account page) and a folder to save files into. A config.json and a log file are created next to the executable. Other features the README lists include a right-click menu on each row for copy and open actions, multi-link hoster input where each pasted line gets its own background worker, an update check against GitHub Releases on startup, a minimize-to-tray mode that slows polling to once every five minutes when idle, optional tray pop-ups when downloads finish, and window size memory between sessions. Settings are reachable through a gear icon at the bottom-left. The FAQ addresses Windows Defender flagging the fresh executable as a false positive, explains that some Usenet items briefly show as a hash before TorBox resolves the real name, and notes that running from source is possible with Python 3.10 or newer. Version history runs from v0.1.0 to v0.6.0. The license is MIT.
