thx for clearing that up! in Europe at least, consumer protection laws cover downloads ("you're a moron who doesn't know what you're actually downloading and whether it is legal"), but seeding == distributing, which is a punishable offence

It doesn't provide legal safety here in the states, you'll wanna use some kind of anonymizing service.

If, however, you plan to do lots of streaming of your torrents, it is absolutely the best way to go. I am familiar with RealDebrid, which is a similar service. Its good stuff, probably pay with cash-by-mail or cryptocurrency though.

AllDebrid retains files for 30 days and must be seeding a ton (how would they get high download speed otherwise?), what am i missing here?

the caching of files also helps, since they're only leeched once, then downloaded from their servers by potentially more than one user
