(And I use “Free” loosely because I do pay for Prime Video, so it went from paid to much more expensive)

    Stremio is free, the service you need to cache the torrents (Real-Debrid) isn’t. It’s about $/€3 per month, which is still cheaper than a VPN (which you need for torrents but not for Stremio/Debrid).

      Wait, so if I get this right, stremio has nothing to do with debrid on its own. So if you just use Stremio, as is, you are leeching a torrent you don’t seed?

        Correct. Without a Debrid service, you stream the torrent directly from the tracker. It’s also slow AF for all but the most popular content so you really don’t want to go without.

        (In my experience most torrents are already cached on Debrid, BTW, so there’s no hit and run since you’re just downloading the file directly from a server.)
