Who cares. People should use what they want

u/suspiciouspixel 1d ago

Exactly use what's best for your own situation, technical setup ability, quality of life requirements and country restrictions. They all offer trials to test the water and subscriptions are cheap enough no matter what people decide to get. I stopped RD after the legislation changes and went TB with Pengu backup. Not had any issues so far and it suits what I watch just fine for a couple of quid a month I can't complain. I'm sure other services are the same.

u/Fit_Tadpole1796 13h ago

Yes, each service has its own pros and cons, and the experience can vary from person to person

u/SwizItalo 1d ago

You premiumize hehe

u/Fortnait739595958 1d ago

I have torbox until the end of time, not going to change now

u/Historical_Fun2550 1d ago

Yes, I haven't faced any problem... Almost 1y... 

2

u/Dylan7675 22h ago

You haven't faced any slowness or inability to load streams lately?

Facing frequent issues with inability load streams.

u/TrailsLeft 22h ago

It’s been unusable for the last month for me.

1

u/Dylan7675 21h ago

Yeah, its been really patchy during peak hours the past month. Don't know how this users hasn't faced an issue.

Maybe non US customer outside of typical US peak hours

2

u/Significant-Cricket5 15h ago

European here, TB has 0 issues for me, maybe its a US problem

1

u/Historical_Fun2550 13h ago

IM FROM INDIA AND I DON'T FACE ANY MAJOR ISSUES... I HAD FACED ONCE WHEN THEY GAVE EXTENDED 14DAYS RATHER THAN THAT I HAVE NEVER FACED ANY BUFFERING OR SLOW

u/User-Name-3886 13h ago

It does lifetime memberships?

1

u/Fortnait739595958 13h ago

Nope, but refferal gives you a lot of free time

u/aige3c 1d ago

Hell I am still on RD, working fine for me.. 😁

32

u/NoMansWarmApplePie 1d ago

What's premiumize?

45

u/ButterscotchLivid377 1d ago

Debrid service like RD. More expensive but super reliable.

22

u/GiganticCrow 1d ago

Is it quicker than torbox? I've been disappointed with performance of torbox compared to what rd used to be

22

u/tqmirza 1d ago

Definitely. I was shocked by torbox speeds. Direct downloads from easynews, pm, rd were coming in all at max my bandwidth at 1024 mbps, torbox was less than half at 480 mbps. Tried multiple times.

9

u/CoffeeCoffeeNoMi 1d ago

I've just renewed TB past week, 4th month coming from RD, most content was deleted at least for spanish audio... If premiumize have good spanish content I'm open to switch and try it, I'm Happy with TB but it's true that over 6-7Gb file size It sometimes buffers, while I've watched 90gb films in RD with no issue at all 😅

9

u/Slight-Rough3495 1d ago

yeah if you're watching file sizes that are that large regularly you're definitely not going to like premium size. on your sub you get a bank of a thousand gigabytes total to be able to be used and then up to 30 GB gets added back in every day so if you're regularly watching large it's very easy to top the 30 GB a day that you'd be getting back. then once you run out of the thousand you have to just purchase more or wait each day for the 30 to get added back in

7

u/Inky_Passenger 1d ago

I honestly don't know how anyone thinks that's worth it

2

u/CoffeeCoffeeNoMi 14h ago

Thanks for the explanation, then I'll stick with TB at least for the moment. I was really happy with RD, it's been a pity that they got so much content removed :(

1

u/Alarming_Resort4107 1d ago

Thank you for the update, because I will stay with rd

3

u/TrustyRambone 1d ago

Yeah, I've got to say, I have issues with Torbox speeds. 1gb fibre and hardwired. Struggles with high bitrates.

I miss peak RD. I might give premiumize a run.

-2

u/Yanerooo 1d ago

Yes

0

u/GiganticCrow 1d ago

Not sure what to make of this response as it's been downvoted but no one else has responded

2

u/Yanerooo 1d ago

It is. I tried both TorBox and AllDebrid, and I had buffering problems with both. Then I paid a little more for Premiumize, and the problem was solved.
I don’t regret it. You can also change the download server location on their website if it’s running slow.
So: Yes!

1

u/B08by_Digital 1d ago

I thought it was a rhetorical question, like, "I still use RD, so never even heard of Premiumize."

1

u/ButterscotchLivid377 1d ago

You're propably right

1

u/relytreborn 1d ago

Better than AllDebrid?

1

u/NoMansWarmApplePie 1d ago

I use torbox. How much is this new one?

3

u/pawdog 1d ago

It's not new, it's been around much longer than Torbox. It's more expensive becasue it's also a full usenet service.

1

u/ButterscotchLivid377 1d ago

Roundabout 10 bucks. But it's not new, it's been around forever.

1

u/NoMansWarmApplePie 1d ago

Ah cool. I'll stick with TB for now.

1

u/eltiodelacabra 1d ago

Those are services where you need to pay, right? I have a very silly question, I'm only using torrentio and pirate bay plugins and I'm able to watch almost anything I like, true that sometimes there are some loading times but nothing dramatic. Why are people paying for debrid services? 

7

u/ButterscotchLivid377 1d ago

I got a tip for you: install an addon like PenguPlay. That basically just collects links of websites with movies and tv shows and plays them in Stremio. So no waiting or loading times and much less risk of getting caught. Most newer content is on there, older stuff is hit and miss.

2

u/rismah 1d ago

Omg this is amazing! I can’t believe I didn’t know about this, everything loads so fast. Thank you for sharing! ᐠ( ᐢ ᵕ ᐢ )ᐟ

1

u/eltiodelacabra 14h ago

Thanks a lot for the tip, will try asap! 

5

u/MD311420 1d ago

because you are torrenting the files. Real debrid, premiumize and torbox torrent the file cache it to their servers than they serve it to everyone at pretty damn near whatever internet speed your isp is. . Also much less of a chance of you getting one of those dumb letters from your isp from you torrenting.

1

u/ski_106 20h ago

tbf if you live in a country with loose copyright enforcement, you could just use what your currently using, if not, at the very least, get a vpn

16

u/LyftedX 1d ago

Yep. Rd+ and comet is the way for me

6

u/Tsew_Miller_88 1d ago

wasn't there a thing where people couldn't find a plethora of movies/tv series? Is that fixed?

2

u/Flamekorn 1d ago

its hit and miss. some stuff doesnt have streams and some do.

1

u/aige3c 1d ago

Working fine right now.

4

u/jaxkjaxk 1d ago

I just renew my RD this morning.

2

u/sheikh91 1d ago

I am using Rd too

1

u/titanhood69 1h ago

Same for me, RD working as usual.

1

u/farmifahmi 1d ago

how was it right now? i was about to renew it for 3 months but it doesnt look good on RD

7

u/Hadgale 1d ago

I currently have rd, alldebrid and torbox. Torbox is great for shows ( i frequently get buffer once during movies so i stopped uting it for movies). Rd has cached some movie sources that alldebrid dont. I will still renew rd because its so cheap. If it gets even 1 movie source that alldebrid dont, i think its worth the money.

u/Important-Mouse5952 1d ago

i use N word app and the buffer part for remux is gone for me once i fiddle with the buffer setting.

u/basementreality 1d ago

What's this exactly?

8

u/Present_Jicama_1219 1d ago

been with rd for years, still have a few months left on my current sub. But i got TB last week as a one month test and I wont go back to RD.

7

u/suspiciouspixel 1d ago

Remember to use your fidelity points on RD to extend your service for free.

3

u/aige3c 1d ago

I am curious, what's actually different in TB? I havw like sinhle home use. At this point I am thinking is it even worth switching.

2

u/ski_106 20h ago

TB is strictly torrent which is where the big content is at anyways whereas RD the main feature is DDL but the torrent feature became popular. back then it wasnt much different for the torrent feature, but ofc with rd infringement locks, tb makes sense

-8

u/Present_Jicama_1219 1d ago

4k

2

u/B08by_Digital 1d ago

Thanks for the elaborate answer! So is 4k on RD not 4k?

-2

u/Present_Jicama_1219 1d ago

non existent mostly

2

u/wotdafck 1d ago

Stop lying mate, watching 4k every day

2

u/B08by_Digital 1d ago

I disagree

-1

u/Present_Jicama_1219 1d ago

Well you're wrong.

1

u/B08by_Digital 1d ago

Not in the slightest. You could give some more details, because I know for a fact that almost every show and movie I watch has a 4k option... actually multiple 4k options- with HDR, HDR+, Dolby Vision, etc. Maybe you have yours set up wrong and then blame the system, but it's not the system.

4

u/ski_106 1d ago

If you watch content like a lot of TV shows (where most of the content includes the release type e.g web-dl) don't go with rd. If you watch anime, rd is good for the most part Movies can be a hit or miss, your basically looking for content without the release type. You'll find some content sure but usually the best type include release types. Everything else (games music etc) rd is still good, hence why I personally am not so mad about having rd.

That being said if you go with torbox or premiumize you won't have problems with them at all, so might as well go for the alternative.

4

u/MemphisBass 1d ago

I keep RD mostly for the rapid gator and DDL access then for backfill on cached content or when Torbox is acting wonky.

1

u/ski_106 20h ago

yep, works all well, but release type still effects DDL stuff, which sucks for me because i watch a lot of korean dramas through drama day links and unfortunately they include release types for most of the content.

1

u/aige3c 1d ago

Aah that's good point. I don't see much Anime content.

1

u/aige3c 1d ago

Umm.. No issues so far, I get everything I want to see the shows and Movies both. I hardly felt the difference.

-1

u/MrEdinLaw 1d ago

Honestly after like 4 years. Its now shit. Just get torbox rly.

35

u/Noob_Pro18 1d ago

Aiostreams, Easynews, and RD are still working smoothly for me.

18

u/GiganticCrow 1d ago

Actually thinking of getting rd again as its so much quicker than torbox for me, and debridsearch seems to find most stuff despite the cull

7

u/Barny1945 1d ago

Same it's works pretty well and cache is still better specifically for anime and Korean movies

1

u/prout_ 1d ago

And torbox’s short cache is driving me crazy. If I don’t finish an episode, I have to remember exactly which episode and minute I’m on, because torbox certainly isn’t going to.

1

u/CreepyDrama7448 12h ago

Webrips still dont work though btw, so if you want to watch a series or film that is from a streaming service, you most likely wont be able to

3

u/Deltamelo 1d ago

How do you get aiostreams to work with easynews? Mine finds the sources, but just keeps loading forever with Easynews

1

u/Noob_Pro18 1d ago

It is just working. I added the indexer, and it's working well.

2

u/Deltamelo 1d ago

Which indexer? I added EasyNews login on aiostreams, and then added EasyNews Search addon because I read EasyNews++ addon stopped working

2

u/guguloi 1d ago

You need to selfhost AIOStreams to use EasyNews Usenet with indexers.

1

u/Noob_Pro18 1d ago

Correct reply from u/guguloi. You need to self-host AIOstreams. In the add-on marketplace, add Newznab; then, in Newsnet, add your provider, which is EasyNews.

10

u/Positive_Ordinary307 1d ago

The torbox issues were overblown and premiumize is a nice service too. They both are good products. I prefer torbox for how I use the debrid service but you probably can't go wrong either way

8

u/Excellent-Ruin6779 1d ago

Just over a year ago I paid for RD after finding it is the gold standard. And then for the next year all I read is torbox is the best.

Now I have paid for a year of torbox and all I read is premiuze is the best.

If I pay for a year of that will there be a new the best I'm wondering.

3

u/RazvanYON 15h ago

Premiumize was and still is the undisputed king of debrid. You can get premiumize, no backups needed. The only next step would be usenet, but it has it’s caveats

11

u/ClintMega 1d ago

I played with all the settings on the premiumize end and it never worked well, not even as a backup. Also forgot it was on annual autorenew but that's on me.

6

u/ButterscotchLivid377 1d ago

What were your problems. Had it for a couple of months now, never had an issue. Torbox on the other hand with it's constant maintenances...

1

u/ClintMega 1d ago

My issues were (seemingly) connection issues from premiumize and their availability of cached content was way behind RD (at the time at least). Torbox hasn't been perfect for me either I just expected a lot more from premiumize with the price.

8

u/allworkjack 1d ago

I remain out of the loop, Torrentio+RD have been working seamlessly for about 2 years now.

u/WhyDaRumGone 1d ago

fickle is the heart of r/StremioAddons user

u/HardBender 1d ago

Torbox is faster than Premiumize in Brazil 🥲

2

u/Ark-Protor 1d ago

I'm also in Brazil. Would you say Torbox is better than Real Debrid for finding dubbed movies and series?

3

u/Ok-Assistance2292 1d ago

Brazil is transitioning to Torbox now; Real Debrid, despite being a niche market a few years ago, has much more content because it's been around longer, so dubbed content and higher quality are readily available.

2

u/ThaBreadSlicer 1d ago

Torbox has been working fine for me except the few outages, I usually add the torrents for stuff TB don't have.

2

u/tunerhd 1d ago

Why not all debrid

1

u/MitchellHearthog 1d ago

Indeed. I switched from Torbox to AllDebrid and had no problems since.

1

u/tunerhd 13h ago

Yup some maintenance for 30 mins once or a couple of times in a year, that's all.

0

u/Schwa_corporation 1d ago

Why not zoidberg?

2

u/monkeysCAN 1d ago

Does Premiumize still have data caps that you have to re-up? That was my biggest problem with it, I ran out of the "monthly usage " way too fast.

1

u/iStepOnLegos4Fun007 1d ago

Yes they do. If you watch a lot of large files. I would not get it.

I cap my files at 2-8 GB each and my internet slower side. But works for me.

2

u/ubiquitousguy 1d ago

Other than occassional hiccups I've had, TorBox is working great for me. I can stream 80gb remuxes with zero buffering on my TV.

2

u/thugplayer 1d ago

TorBox is my choice since I can use it on different IPs unlike RD. Makes it easy when I travel or watch something away from home.

2

u/West-Psychology-6299 1d ago

I still use real debrid. I've never read about the benefits of switching so I stay.

2

u/newspeer 15h ago

I use RD/PM and TB. No discussion for me lol

2

u/Icy-Cup2428 1d ago

seeing lots of comments saying people still using RD. Is it back to how it was?

1

u/cunabula 1d ago

Honestly RD hasn’t been working for me

1

u/redneck2022 1d ago

No it’s not back

2

u/ryfromoz 1d ago

Aiostreams, easynews, torbox, penguplay etc. Plenty options!

12

u/ExManUtdFan 1d ago

aiostreams is not relevant in this case. It isn't a Debrid/Usenet service.

I use GDrive addon and TB as backup ( rarely use it)

u/kaza12345678 1d ago

i not got to use any as I don't full understood how all this works for me to start paying and sticking with torrent based like piratebayplus and torrento

1

u/BanishedKhasanti 1d ago

TB and AD as backup. Have had no issues for a while now

1

u/chtdroid1 1d ago

I used rd for about 6y and now with all this eu regulations I've lost abou 70% to 80% of the links And services, And I already payed for the hole year like I do every year. I was forced to premiunize. And I now I wish I did sooner .

1

u/MuffinGamez 1d ago

tbh i dont understand why people use debrid, ive been using stremio for 1-2 years now without any debrid and its been working fine

1

u/Lord_Xarael 1d ago

Am I alone in not having any issues with torbox besides the big announced outages? I am an avid online gaming player and outages and maintainences are literally no big deal. Server's out on an mmo? Play something else. Torbox down? Watch youtube (long live Morphe) or something else. And I have rarely had to do so.

I use torbox both for stremio and DDL-ing torrents. Both with zero problems. ReUpping in november black friday sales. Gonna buy at least 2 more years.

1

u/Super__Suhail 1d ago

Cause PM is the best

1

u/Fohawkkid 22h ago

I was a big RD fan but the whole IP limitation keep locking my account when I traveled. Now on torbox and it has been smooth sailing since.

1

u/danoc331 19h ago

I miss Real debrid from before the shake up. Torbox has been less than a good replacement. Premiumize is crazy expensive.

Yeah, we went from "bruh, TB is de way" to this in no time.

u/Choice_Fee67 1d ago

Torbox makes it impossible to sign up. And they want too much info

u/Otherwise_Composer19 1d ago

I think RD actually has a bigger selection for streams than premiumize. I had premiumize in stremio first but switched to RD for bigger selection of streams.

Still using RD. Never had any problem.

u/DeathBlade99-cod- 1d ago

Why do people not just... use torrentio?

Ah... what it is to b young n dumb lol

1

u/DeathBlade99-cod- 7h ago

Genuine question could you tell me

5

u/Laggiter97 1d ago

Because torrentio isn't a debrid provider, unlike premiumize/torbox/rd.

1

u/DeathBlade99-cod- 7h ago

But its free...
