Ah okay now I understand too.

I like to choose my own country in the VPN, I think it’s the best bet for connection stability. Contract wise I don’t think Real-Debrid cares at all what your IP is, so many people fake it anyway.

Storage isn’t nearly as expensive as it would seem looking at normal consumer cloud storage pricing. I think they also clear the cache of truly obscure content after a while. And I also think some of the “cached” content isn’t even stored on their own servers, but is actually streamed from one of the 3rd party direct download services. That would ease the storage and traffic load massively.

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.

Hmm I didn’t even notice the price would vary based on your location. Are you at https://real-debrid.com/ for sure?

I really don’t know what they’ll do if you use the service from an IP unrelated to the location you selected when you pay.

Real-Debrid logs your all data. If they’re ever hacked or cracked down by police, you can be in danger. In many countries there’s a risk of heavy fines if you get caught pirating media.

When you stream something, the link to the file is automatically added to your RD account. You can use that link to download the file. Or you can skip the streaming part and just add stuff to your library and download them.

I’ve wondered if Real-Debrid actually is German made too. The dash in the name gives that vibe.

I finally managed to familiriaze myself with it a week ago. Fucking awesome is what it is. In simplest terms Real-Debrid caches torrents so you can stream them from their servers instead of downloading the torrent. The cache is massive and expands constantly because any time something isn’t cached already, it is cached when someone wants to watch it.

I use Stremio with Torrentio addon, it just works. The user experience is much like any legal streaming services.

Real-Debrid conceals your traffic from your ISP by using HTTPS, but the service does keep track of your IPs. It’s best to create the account using an email untraceable to you, pay for the service with crypto or paysafecard and always use a VPN when logging in to the site or streaming. There’s always a slight possibility that someone manages to hack into the service and use your data against you, so don’t provide them any traceable data.

Real-Debrid costs 3…4 dollars per month, it’s not expensive. The free or cheaper alternatives are not good. A good VPN is another 3…4 dollars so combined it’s still cheaper than using a regular streaming service. I very much recommend getting into it, just remember to cover your ass.

PS. Real-Debrid caches torrents from like 20 different torrent sites and once they’re cached it doesn’t matter how many seeders the original torrent has. That means for example that you can stream stuff that wouldn’t even be available on the torrent sites you know or use.
