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!

Yeah, it will likely meet the same fate as RealDebrid in the future.

What fate is that? RD still works lol

People just way to wrapped up in the reddit made panic

They removed some APIs and are blocking some torrents by name, other torrents may still work for now but don't get too comfortable though. They will likely start removing the cached torrents with copyrighted content in the future.

The API has been mostly worked around. stremio, the major addons, rdt, and zurg works.

People keep saying "just wait..." but nothing ever happens.

There have been issues caused by maintenance that were more troublesome then this.

You know what, do as you wish, just like @[email protected] already said. It's your money and you're free to waste it. However this list and advice is here to help people who desire not to waste their own money not end up wasting their own. Now they've already given an official annoucement on their Twitter that they are taking steps to limit or action illegal content. If you wish to not see the writing on the wall that's up to you, but it does exist and it is happening.

This list is inaccurate as I've already pointed out but stay on your high horse lol.

Telling people to switch services when the service they have actually works and then giving an inaccurate list of services to switch to, is not as helpful as you think it is.

Also pointing to a 4 day old tweet about what RD is going to do in the "coming hours" as "writing on the wall" , when the service still works is hilarious.

This is why RD is banning the idiots falling for this panic.

Considering that you actually haven't pointed out how this list is inaccurate in this comment thread. Just said that people should keep using the service and paying for it, and that it's not going away (service itself isn't but the content it is used for is, making it useless), despite the fact that it will almost certainly begin to become much less useful due to the nature of this event. If you're talking about the inclusion of AllDebrid OP has explained that they are within the same Jurisdiction as RealDebrid, a jurisdiction known to have powerful copyright trolls, and we're not in the bussiness of telling people to use and pay for services that are basically guaranteed to leave people in the same situation as this one.

Also pointing to a 4 day old tweet about what RD is going to do in the “coming hours” as “writing on the wall” , when the service still works is hilarious.

I think you being so hardcore in-denial of this crackdown despite the notice being from them officially is even more hilarious. What was done with addons that use RealDebrid is a workaround of API changes, if/when they delete/ban the infringing cached torrents this isn't going to help.

I'm confident that you are a troll at this point. I don't see how someone could look at their message and keep claiming RD is fine and "not going anywhere" in good faith.
