I've been a good boy for 5 years or so but the seas call to me. Are streaming sites the way to go now or is torrenting still a better bet for mainstream movies and tv? I'd imagine all of my accounts have been deleted on those sites so I'd be starting over.

There’s no need for torrenting with services like Stremio (with Real-Debrid).

There is if you intend to keep torrents alive.

I haven't heard that before, so I had to search a bit. This poster says Stremio uploads, but theres no docs. https://www.reddit.com/r/Stremio/comments/182cb7f/does_stremio_upload/

Real Debrid doesn't seed anything. Stremio just has other addons that can seed torrents, but they're not Real Debrid or one of the other debrid services

Stremio uploads/seeds just when you're watching the movie, and usually with a very small cache. On a 20gb movie maybe you seed 200-300mb, which isn't anything substantial
