The real winner of the streaming wars.

    I use Stremio that plays and streams torrents using sequential downloading. It’s like Popcorn time.

      The issue is that this only works when the torrent community is healthy. If everyone used Streamio, nobody would be able to actually use it. Because it doesn’t seed the content, it just leeches and deletes it automatically. So if everyone used Streamio, there would be no seeders, and your streams would never actually work.

      Streamio is the “fuck you I got mine” of the torrenting world.

        It keeps a cache that it seeds back. Whenever the app is running you are seeding. I think the default is 2GB of cache, which is less than the average of 1.3GiB for a movie. Mine is set to 5GB.

        I also seed an average of 10 to 1 using qBittorent so I guess I forgot it could be considered a “fuck you” because I always seed.
