      Not 100% sure but since they are free links they wont come from torrents, at least not in the same way. They are being scraped from streaming websites.

      Whetger or not the original uploaded got them from a torrent is unknown but they would have just downloaded it once and uploaded so very different in its effect on torrenting.

      Those sites have always coexisted with torrents because they are often of low quality whereas torrents are higher quality

          But to answer your question, if there is a plugin with a torrent client included then it is most likely set up to download the files sequentially to allow streaming but i would assume it is set to turn upload off (so it leeches) because your tv would probably buffer more if it used additional bandwith

          If thats the case (not 100%) then that may be why they are trying to block stremio
