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.
Yah, I realize that. But I’m not against just having the whole season or series on file or not have to worry about whether there’s a problem 2 seasons in getting it at a low bitrate for my cabin internet connection. I kinda dislike having to scroll through to find the feed I want and half the time I accidentally pick a dubbed feed or a shitcam. I’ll often go on to piratebay and just pull the entire season at my preferred resultion rather than fart around with the debrid.
And I run a pile of servers already for other purposes and backup, I’m fine adding services.
But on this subject I’m far enough behind the curve that I wouldn’t mind some direction towards best practices before I go too far in the wrong direction.
