I was looking through the megathread and saw this real-debrid thing. I have heard this name some times so I read what it does but wasn’t able to understand it. If someone could explain it to me I would appreciate it.
Also, it caught my attention that “it’s a good way to prevent your IP from ever hitting the torrent’s swarm, which is the main cause of receiving copyright infringement letters”. Does this mean it’s an alternative to a VPN when torrenting? Is it like a seedboxes or something? Are there any free alternatives?
What a debriding service does is download the torrent for you, and cache it on their servers. From there you can download it from their servers without ever “touching” the torrent itself. Common uses for it are with Stremio, to stream cached movie torrents directly from the debrid service’s servers.
These services are also used to download from paywalled DDL websites, such as rapidgator, nitrodl, etc, so you do not need to wait 500 hours of 50kbps.
also really popular in Germany, because if you download the torrent yourself, you can get a huge fine from the copyright owner.
I’ve wondered if Real-Debrid actually is German made too. The dash in the name gives that vibe.
how does a dash sound german?
der strich… That’s how.
It’s the most commonly spoken (Western) language that uses a lot of compound words with and without dashes. I always tend to think there’s a German speaker involved when I see dashes used in English where a native English speaker wouldn’t use a dash, hah.
