    Completely different kind of service, the debrid services let you stream media. The arrs are so you can download and store media. I think it’s overall more convenient to just have a premiumize or Real-Debrid subscription so you don’t have to buy hard drives and keep a server running

      Debrid services can be used to download as well. If you’re doing lite torrenting it works perfectly fine to grab files of any kind without exposing your IP, similar-ish to a VPN.

      I’m guessing you’re talking about Stremio though, which covers a large amount of media. But will falter for older stuff, or non-popular titles. I don’t recall what it was, but I recently ran into a 2019 series that wasn’t possible to find with Torrentio.
