Are direct download sites safer than torrenting and what can i do to make things as safe as possible without having to use something like a vpn? becasue there are a few movies and retro games im having a hard time finding so what can i do to be safe while trying to find the media i want?

Im not even sure if the pirates life is for me…

    I see. It has no files available to me “out of the box”, on sign up, right? I must point a torrent to it, it will download it and then I will download it later? Can I also upload local files?

    I’m sorry, I must sound dumb, but I always had a hard time really understanding WHAT are real debrid benefits.

      You cannot upload. So no use as personal cloud. Popular torrents are already cached on their servers so no need to wait. Other plus is you probably max out your line speeds. Traffic is SSL encrypted, no need for vpn
