            I didn’t know for months either until I was trying to help someone find an elusive pdf only available there. Were close to just making a scribd trial when I thought to try.

            Haven’t tried recently but it likely still works.

            Edit: still does!

      Even after RD’s massive anti-piracy swing?

      I tried put.io and Torbox but they throw errors even when I can see they downloaded the torrent

        Never had any issues. It works perfectly when I use it with 1337x and TBP.

        Dont know why they’re beefing with those trackers specifically, but it doesn’t affect Stremio’s operations one bit. I can still stream any movie or show I want instantly to my TV.

        Alas, you can always use a different Debrid service. I simply prefer R-D because it’s the most popular, which means that tends to have more content available for instant stream rather than having to wait for seeds. Almost every torrent I want has already been cached by another user for instant download.

          stremio and RD are not the same. if RD goes down stremio app/site won’t be affected just the addon

            Yes I understand that. I never said that they were the same. You don’t need R-D to use Stremio, but it’s a much smoother experience if you do, cause you can stream instantly without waiting for seeds.

            The point I’m making is that any drama involving R-D beefing with trackers doesn’t affect the amount of content available on Stremio. Other trackers exist to fill in the gaps. That’s all I’m saying.

        I didn’t know about any swing and started using it for the past month with no issues so far

          French gov recently went after them and they made a big thing about not hosting copyrighted content, but as far as I can tell nothing’s changed.

            Their entire reason to exist is to host copyrighted content. They’re just telling the French what they want to hear to get them off of their asses.
