Not only Stremio, I heard there are other apps that do the same thing Stremio does, which is only leech and not seed.

From my research, the suggestions I found were :

  • Disable DHT
  • Use blocklists (I am also looking for suggestions, currently considering using this one)

There were also suggestions to block by PeerID, however Stremio generates a spoofed PeerID.

I also learned that Stremio only works if the tracker allows magnet links, but this doesn’t seem something actionable on the peer level.

Is there anything else I am missing?

    Popular add-ons enable on-the-fly playback of torrents as they are downloaded, typically linked to an accompanying debrid service that handles all the dirty work for a small fee.

        …what? Why would it be horrible? Been using it for years, it’s perfectly fine. And contrary to what this post says, Stremio does seed torrents back.
