After my last post on here asking about convenient streaming options at higher resolutions, I got a few comments recommending Stremio with Torrentio and Real Debrid.

I ended up going through with that and streamed a 4k movie. That said, what’s the catch? I’m a little paranoid because I’m not sure if this still counts as torrenting, and if I should be using a VPN while watching something from RD.

No such thing as free lunch, so I’m assuming there’s other downsides to this solution, could someone let me know what they are?

As far as I understand, yes! That’s correct. I have 1 account so I can’t stream multiple devices at the same time. But if you have 2 separate accounts there shouldn’t be issues. I’m like 95% sure but someone correct me if wrong

EDIT: As I was corrected below, you only can’t stream multiple devices at the same time when using different external IP addresses

You can absolutely stream as many devices as you please at the same time from the same IP address from a single account. You only get in trouble with RD if you stream from 2 different IP addresses simultaneously.

Ah that’s the important part I was forgetting, I appreciate the correction!
