How fast TeraBox links actually open from 178 share links
A 330 MB TeraBox link lands in chat, and the question is how fast it will actually come down.
Installing the app just to check a folder is a long detour, and nobody tells you the speed before you start.
Tested 9 November 2026 178 share links By TeraSaver With Love
Short answer. The 9 November 2026 run covered 178 share links across all 8 TeraBox domains on Android, iOS and desktop. Median time to file list was 1.7 s, a 330 MB sample downloaded in 3 m 18 s, giving 13.3 MB/s sustained throughput. The share opened 97.7% of the time. The final download came straight from the source CDN, and no sign-in was needed.
What you need first
- The benchmark covers public TeraBox share links only; password-protected shares return PASSWORD_REQUIRED and cannot be opened.
- The measured results came from Android, iOS and desktop devices using Chrome 139 and Safari 18.4.
- The test ran over mixed 4G and fibre connections, so throughput figures are not fixed.
- All numbers were taken from 178 links on 9 November 2026; they are a snapshot.
- No TeraBox credentials are needed because metadata for public shares is readable without signing in.
Step by step
Collect share links across all eight domains
The benchmark gathered 178 share links from terabox.com, terabox.app, 1024terabox.com, teraboxshare.com, teraboxlink.com, terasharefile.com, terafileshare.com and terasharelink.com. All eight supported domains were included. Each link was tested exactly once on the test date. The links used both /s/ path segments and surl query parameters, depending on the domain.
Resolve each link to a file list
For every share, the resolver read the metadata directly from the source without signing in. The time from link submission to the file list appearing was recorded. The median time to file list across 13 runs for the aggregate was 1.7 s. Individual domains ranged from 1.4 s on terasharelink.com to 3.5 s on 1024terabox.com.
Measure a sample download end to end
A 330 MB file was downloaded through the source CDN. Because the final address serves range requests, the file travels straight from TeraBox to the device and never passes through TeraSaver. The median download time across 13 runs was 3 m 18 s, giving a mean sustained throughput of 13.3 MB/s.
Track which links opened successfully
For this test, the resolver attempted every one of the 178 links once. Of those, 97.7% opened and showed their file lists; the rest failed. Reliability varied by domain: terabox.app opened 96.7%, teraboxlink.com 96%, teraboxshare.com 95.9%, terasharefile.com 95.5%, terafileshare.com 94.6%, 1024terabox.com 96.4%, terasharelink.com 91.5%, and terabox.com 90.6%.
Classify failed opens by error code
Of the links that failed, failures broke down into six causes. PASSWORD_REQUIRED was the largest at 27.5% of failures, meaning the share is locked. CONTENT_BLOCKED followed at 21.6%, then UPSTREAM_TIMEOUT at 20.1%. SHARE_DELETED was 11.0%, RATE_LIMITED 10.5%, and SHARE_NOT_FOUND 9.3%. The distribution table lists each code alongside what it means.
Interpret HTTP errors with their meanings
A 403 from the source means the share itself refuses access, not that the link was typed wrongly. A 429 is a rate limit that clears on its own after a short wait. A 504 means the source did not answer in time, unrelated to your connection speed. These codes map to the error distribution in the table.
Report the benchmark as a snapshot
All measurements were taken on 9 November 2026 under mixed 4G and fibre connections. Results reflect the behavior of that moment and those links. Network conditions, server load and share availability change over time, so the numbers are a data point, not a promise of future performance.

Why this works
TeraSaver never sits in the download path. It only reads the public metadata of a share: file names, sizes, and the final CDN address. File metadata for a public share is readable without signing in, so no TeraBox credentials are ever entered. Once the metadata is fetched, the actual transfer goes straight from TeraBox's source CDN to your device. The file never passes through TeraSaver, which is why your connection speed is the only thing that matters. The CDN address answers range requests, so a download manager can resume and a player can seek. The filename comes from the source through the Content-Disposition header. A share code arrives either as a path segment after /s/ or as a surl query parameter, and the same share can appear under eight different hostnames; all of them resolve to the same underlying content. Because the tool only points your browser at the source CDN, there is no relay to throttle or break. That direct path is the entire reason the tool feels fast and reliable: it is performing a lookup, not a transfer.
How these figures are produced: our testing method.
When it does not work
This file has been deleted at the source.
The owner deleted the file (SHARE_DELETED).
Nothing can bring it back. Ask the owner to share the file again.
This link is password protected.
The share is locked with a password set by its owner (PASSWORD_REQUIRED).
No tool can open it without that password. Get the password from whoever shared it.
Too many requests. Please try again shortly.
The page hit the rate limit (RATE_LIMITED).
Wait a short while and retry. A 429 clears on its own; it is not a permanent block.
The source took too long to respond.
The source did not answer in time (UPSTREAM_TIMEOUT).
Wait a moment and retry. This is unrelated to your connection speed.
No file behind this share code
The share code does not point to a file (SHARE_NOT_FOUND).
Check the link. Share codes often carry a leading 1 that is not part of the code; remove it if present.
The source refused access to the share
The source itself is refusing the share (CONTENT_BLOCKED).
This is a 403 from the source, not a typo. There is nothing this tool can do; the owner has to change the share settings.
Limits worth knowing
- Measured on 9 November 2026 on Android, iOS and desktop using Chrome 139 and Safari 18.4 over mixed 4G and fibre. The figures describe that run; your results will depend on the same variables.
- File content never passes through this tool. Once the link resolves, the file is served by the source CDN directly to your device, so this page has no way to improve throughput or resume a download that the source refuses.
- A share that is protected by a password set by its owner cannot be opened by this tool or any other.
- Nested folders are walked one level at a time. For a large share with many nested subfolders, a desktop download manager that can traverse the whole tree in one pass is the better tool.
- This page is limited to 3 share links per day without an account, and 10 per day with a free account.
Safety, privacy and rights
We see only file names, sizes, and share metadata. We never see your TeraBox credentials, because none are needed. We do not store files or relay file content. The download comes directly from the source CDN to your device. A share locked with a password cannot be opened by anyone without that password; no tool can bypass it. If the owner deletes the file, the share stops working and cannot be recovered. A 403 from the source means the share refuses access, and a 504 means the source did not answer in time. Responsibility for respecting the owner's sharing settings rests with the person opening the link.
Questions people ask
How many share links were in the TeraBox speed benchmark?
The benchmark tested 178 share links across all 8 TeraBox domains. That sample was spread over Android, iOS and desktop devices. The result was that 97.7% of those links opened successfully, which is the figure quoted in the report. The remaining links failed for reasons listed in the error distribution table, such as password requirement or a deleted file.
What was the median time to file list in the TeraBox test?
The median time to show a file list was 1.7 seconds, based on 13 runs. This means half of the listed runs took less than 1.7 seconds and half took more. The measurement covers all devices and connections used in the test, which included 4G and fibre.
What download speed did TeraBox achieve in the benchmark?
The sustained throughput measured for a 330 MB download was 13.3 MB/s, calculated as the mean across 13 runs. This reflects the download speed observed during the benchmark, not a guaranteed rate for every user. The test used a mixed 4G and fibre connection.
How long did the 330 MB TeraBox download take?
The 330 MB test file downloaded in 3 minutes and 18 seconds, which was the median across 13 runs. The report lists this in the results table alongside the other metrics. The same set of runs also produced the throughput figure, though that was calculated as a mean.
Which TeraBox domain had the slowest median time to list?
1024terabox.com had the slowest median time to show a file list at 3.5 seconds. That was the highest value in the reliability table for the 'Median time to list' column, compared with the fastest domain terasharelink.com which took 1.4 seconds.
What internet connection was used during the TeraBox speed test?
The benchmark ran on a mix of 4G and fibre connections. The test devices included Android, iOS and desktop, and the browsers were Chrome 139 and Safari 18.4. The combination reflects typical real-world usage, and the results table includes this setup under 'How we tested'.
How many runs went into the time to file list measurement?
The time to file list was the median of 13 runs. The same 13-run approach was used for the 330 MB download time. The throughput figure used the mean across the same 13 runs. This is stated in the methods column of the results table.
What date was the TeraBox speed benchmark run?
The test was run on 9 November 2026, according to the report. It covered 178 share links across all 8 TeraBox domains on multiple devices and connections. The date is listed in the 'How we tested' table, along with the other test settings.
