Following a formal notice from the FNEF (https://fnef.fr/les-adherents/), Real-Debrid is strengthening its anti-piracy measures. As you already know, we actively comply with DMCA and are already blocking a certain number of infringing torrents. In the coming hours: - audiovisual files available on a number of cyberlockers listed on the USTR blacklist or listed in the European “CCounterfeit and Piracy Watch List” will all be blocked. - a filtering by file name will also be applied, in accordance with the request of the FNEF, this may unfortunately lead to false positives that we will process manually. - a blocking of all torrents hashes of private torrent trackers mentioned in cases at the Paris judicial court - a complete purge of files potentially cached on the previously mentioned criteria - the deactivation of the API endpoint /instantAvaibility - a blocking of counterfeit Kodi / Stremio applications to the extent that they are identifiable

      A VPN is the only bit you’d pay for, alongside the inevitable mass of HDDs to store everything on once you get addicted to just keeping everything forever in your own personal Netflix.

      They’re not services per se, but are a stack of software that you can kinda “clump” together for the lack of a better word.

      For instance I started using qbittorrent client recently instead of Transmission that I was using before as my torrent client because I can’t find a way for Transmission to not download malware, and you can also do the very same with the indexer clients such as Jackett or Prowlarr which then talk to other software such as Radarr/Sonarr via API keys and is usually where most get caught out.

      Read the docs, get thoroughly confused, and probably do it in docker too as everyone says if your hardware is sufficient.
