I’ve been a good boy for 5 years or so but the seas call to me. Are streaming sites the way to go now or is torrenting still a better bet for mainstream movies and tv? I’d imagine all of my accounts have been deleted on those sites so I’d be starting over.

I haven’t heard that before, so I had to search a bit. This poster says Stremio uploads, but theres no docs. https://www.reddit.com/r/Stremio/comments/182cb7f/does_stremio_upload/

Stremio uploads/seeds just when you’re watching the movie, and usually with a very small cache. On a 20gb movie maybe you seed 200-300mb, which isn’t anything substantial

Real Debrid doesn’t seed anything. Stremio just has other addons that can seed torrents, but they’re not Real Debrid or one of the other debrid services
