I was looking through the megathread and saw this real-debrid thing. I have heard this name some times so I read what it does but wasn’t able to understand it. If someone could explain it to me I would appreciate it.

Also, it caught my attention that “it’s a good way to prevent your IP from ever hitting the torrent’s swarm, which is the main cause of receiving copyright infringement letters”. Does this mean it’s an alternative to a VPN when torrenting? Is it like a seedboxes or something? Are there any free alternatives?

    It basically downloads torrents to their servers so you don’t directly download torrents. As another person said you can also use it with the torrentio addon for stremio. It fucking rocks

      So happy I read this thread. Had it setup in no time and will be cancelling all of my streaming services. $30/year for this is pretty incredible.
