    Real Debrid

    Touted as necessary when it isn’t, apparently if you have it you have access to a huge cache that you can use to continue to torrent dead files

    The issue is that most files nowadays are torrented anyway, so it’s essentially just a ‘do it because I told you so’ step for torrentio users.

    Other torrent streaming software don’t even need real Debrid.

      Isn’t it kind of a middle-man service so you don’t get narc’d on by your ISP for large amounts of p2p traffic? That way all your ISP sees is you downloading data from one source rather than lots of.p2p traffic.

      Unless you use vpn obviously, that doesn’t have issues with p2p traffic or whatever.

      Its really slow without it. And its like a vpn but lighter, so you don’t get caught torrenting by an isp.
