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?

    you don’t want to do that without a VPN.

    It depends on the country. Here in NZ it’s not a problem to torrent, they’re not actively going after pirates. This may change of course.
