Yes, it is paid. I recently signed up for the 30 day play as a test drive and see if it made sense to me⦠And it really is game changing.
Torrent may be enough most of the time, but Stremio has a serious problem about speed, I donāt know why. I enabled the āultra fastā settings in the menu, but I canāt get the same speed Iād get downloading the same torrent through any torrent client.
It made it impossible to watch 4gb movies, for example, I was basically stuck with lower quality 1-2gb ones.
Real debrid changed that. I watched a 17gb one the other day just fine.
If some movie isnāt available through RD, you can signal RD to download it and it will be available to you (and others) a bit later as well, but I havenāt really needed it so far.
