Hijacking this comment cause more people REALLY need to know about Debrid services, such as Real-Debrid. It "caches" torrents, so anything you want can be downloaded instantly at your connection's maximum bandwidth; no waiting for seeds. And since you're not distributing anything, you don't have to pay for a VPN, either.

I have a Gigabit connection and was able to download three different AAA titles, 50+ GB each, play all of them, then decide that I don't like any of them, all within a couple of hours. It's mind-blowing how much faster it is than using a torrent client.

Even better, you can integrate it with your favorite media center app like Plex or Kodi (personally I prefer Stremio for its Netflix-like interface). Now you have every show and film from every streaming platform -- all in one place -- streamed instantly to your TV. I'll never use torrent clients ever again. They take too long.

Buddy,

I saw your post by chance. I am an old sailor of the seven seas (15+ years) and torrent (with a seedbox) has been my favored ship for years. But I did à test with your solution: what a breeze it is (even for me who watch movies with french subtitles)

Thanks for putting that much energy in explaining and convincing that stremio + RD is a very convenient tool; it indeed is.
