    Stremio kind of sucks. You’re leeching a torrent you’ll never seed.

      I see where your coming from but not everyone has the space to seed a torrent. I think those that use stremio and understand torrenting will one day, if they have enough storage contribute to seeding. I’m running on 256gb here T-T

        Then don’t use torrents. Leeching without seeding is literally how torrents die.

      not true, it does sort of the opposite:

      debrid services cache torrents in order to provide them at high speed to clients (that’s why they aren’t free: they need data storage).

      this is a good thing, because it means the swarm is only taxed once per file, instead of constantly by potentially hundreds of streamers.

      from stremio’s FAQs:

      How Debrid Services Work with Stremio

      Stremio itself is a media center application that aggregates content from various sources through add-ons. Debrid services enhance this experience by:

      1. Converting limited or slow hosting links into high-speed premium links
      2. Providing access to higher quality sources that might otherwise be unavailable
      3. Bypassing throttling and download limitations imposed by file hosts
      4. Offering cached torrents for instant streaming without waiting for peers

        So you’re telling me that they’re offering a paid service for free. That makes me trust and want to use it even less.
