A few months ago I grabbed this torrent from rarbg, and it took weeks to download. Often going days with no seeders.

I finally got it, and decided I'd seed beyond my usual 2x to help others get this. Then rarbg went under, and now I think I'll just keep this one going.

It does it all. Debrid is the cloud, and a whole bunch of others things. You just copy and paste a magnet link into the page. And it gets the file for you. And if someone else has used that torrent, it’s already on the debrid server so there’s no wait. 95% of the time it’s already there. Then you’re just downloading a file like you would any other file from a webpage, off the debrid server. Usually at the full speed of your isp. No p2p. I can stream 100 gb movies off their servers. Or download them quickly.

Holy shit I've been paying for that just because I can't be arsed waiting for audiobooks to download from Rapidshare

Update for anyone interested - I put four obscure torrent files into Real Debrib that had been sitting in QBT for months, not downloadable.

Three out of the four downloaded within a couple of hours

I'm fuckin impressed

When I say obscure, I mean a minor British sitcom from the 90s, a french comedy from 1987, and a video of a live Muse gig from ten years ago. All downloaded

Now, the only one left is the episode of Pointless Celebrities with Vic Reeves, Bob Mortimer, Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton

I'll be impressed if it can find that
