Sail with us on the great ship Stremio
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.
Caching a torrent isn't leeching. Like the other person said, it actually helps because it prevents multiple people from doing a hit and run. The torrent only needs to get cached once, and then everyone can just directly download that file, bypassing the torrent entirely.
Caching a torrent requires downloading, no? What guarantee do you have that they're seeding that leech?
There is no guarantee, because they're not seeding. There's one hit-and-run, then the torrent is cached on a server for anyone to directly download. Again, IMO one hit-and-run is still better than thousands.
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:
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.
EDIT: Turns out that stremoo doesn't use debrid. That's something a stremio user can configure. By default, you do leech torrents and never seed then.
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.)
use or don't; who cares?
just don't spread lies...
Sheesh, this place is turning into reddit faster than I'd like. Relax dude.
