Debrid
A debrid service is a multi-hosting service that grants users the ability to download files at high speeds from various file-hosting websites without limitations such as speed throttling or long wait times. These services purchase premium access to various file hosts and then provide users with temporary premium links to the respective hosts.[1]
Some debrid services will cache recent user downloads for a limited period of time on their servers to allow other users to retrieve them directly (rather than retrieving them from the file hoster again). Torrents are commonly cached alongside regular downloads. Debrid services are commonly used for illegal activity such as bypassing copyright infringement enforcement that typically comes with torrenting or downloading copyrighted files.[2] Kodi and Stremio include unsanctioned and third-party addons that leverage debrid capabilities to stream movies and TV shows illegally.[lower-alpha 1] Despite illegal use cases, debrid services are frequently used for legitimate purposes, such as accelerating file downloads, caching content for smoother streaming, and consolidating premium access to multiple file-hosting services.
