Alternatives to Real Debrid (Debrid Services)
Alternatives to Real Debrid (Debrid Services)
For those of us hit by the recent announcement here is a graph I found with some other services worth checking for your next voyages. I have crossed out All-Debrid too as that is also hosted in France and is bound to be hit by the same hammer as Real-Debrid was.
Feel free to share your alternative solutions in the comments below, but always do you research carefully!
The graph shows which Debrid services are supported by each addon for Stremio. Torbox seems to be a new popular and modern alternative. If anyone has any experience with any of the listed services then feel free to share your experiences in the comments.
Edit: Debrid-Link is also French!

Having lived in France for 2 years i can say that the bureaucracy there is out of control. Paperwork upon paperwork upon paperwork to get ANYTHING done. That said, any formal notice probably took years to draft and send, and then the debrid folks probably can drag their heels for years. I'm personally not jumping ship quite yet but i'll pay month to month and wait it out.
Out of the loop here, what happened to real debrid? Its the most useful piracy tool i have used in years.
In short: it's gone "full legal" mode. Blocking most used streaming sites and removed their API access. So it's literally unusable for folks sailing the high seas.
Yeah, very disappointing, luckily, the downloader still works semi-reliably for software. I only have 21 days left anyway.

yeah, that sucks. It was literally perfect for what i needed. ah well
What are some non-piracy use cases for real-debrid?
None
Afaik: Non.
Personal projects?
Trying out TorBox as I write this. Has some cool features and it looks like a lot of people from RD are hopping over to it. New servers are arriving Monday for the huge amount of new users. And it's also quite cheap. There's a black friday sale going on right now too.
Why is AllDebrid crossed out? Just cause its French based as well?
I have crossed out All-Debrid too as that is also hosted in France and is bound to be hit by the same hammer as Real-Debrid was.
Kind of misleading as all debrid works fine and there is no guarantee it will be "hit by the same hammer" anytime soon or ever. The reasoning your using is an appeal to probability which is a logical fallacy.
I was able to fully switch to Prem this morning in < 15 minutes fwiw.
Kinda related, it seems that the Fen Light addon creator also says goodbye to the Kodi scene... It seems like a big day for streaming piracy.
Any idea how this affects those of us who only use it for random stuff where torrents are too slow or to bypass Rapidshare speed limits?
Not sure tbh. Guess it depends what you are downloading and if you are using their service directly and not through their API. They will not block and ban people downloading stuff from their banned lists and their API can no longer be used.
It's better to switch Debrid Service to support someone willing to host a better service imo.
How is Debrid-link? Its considerably cheaper than Premiumize
Not sure myself, just went with one month of Premiumize to test that first. Will then try the rest too see which service suits me better.
Ah NVM... Debrid Link is also French.... https://debrid-link.com/legal
The 2 and 3 year black friday deal (only this week!) for premiumize is cheap per month
debrid link is also hosted in France.
Me still using Premiumize.

Just a reminder that RD still works lol
Are you saying they didn't follow through (yet) with what they stated they would back in November?
Lot of idiots fell for the panic. Haven't heard a peep form the people claiming RD is gonna be dead anytime now lmao
