After my last post on here asking about convenient streaming options at higher resolutions, I got a few comments recommending Stremio with Torrentio and Real Debrid.

I ended up going through with that and streamed a 4k movie. That said, what’s the catch? I’m a little paranoid because I’m not sure if this still counts as torrenting, and if I should be using a VPN while watching something from RD.

No such thing as free lunch, so I’m assuming there’s other downsides to this solution, could someone let me know what they are?

Yes, I use it practically daily and have had 0 issues aside from the very rare occasional maintenance/short outage. here’s the guide originally from reddit that I followed after spending some time trying to figure it out
