New to this, but just set up Stremio on my desktop with a paid Real Debris subscription, and added the Torrentio (along with some other addons).

Worked amazing this morning - watched a new episode of our kids favorite show that we didn’t have access to before (~20 min long) flawlessly. BUT when we tried to load the next episode we lost our internet connection. I thought it was a fluke, but our ISP is pretty reliable and it just happened again. Tried to load a show, it was slow and laggy, then we lost our WiFi.

SO, obviously there’s a problem. We aren’t on a VPN yet because I read that we didn’t need one when using RD, but something is clearly wrong and I don’t want to piss our ISP off and lose our service.

I’m not using it of course until we figure it out. I’ve considered getting Proton VPN and trying with that, but I feel like after two times losing our connection I probably better not make any mistakes. 🫤

Advice please?

UPDATE: Resolved, I think. 🤞 Our WiFi came back after a while, and I made a few changes. I deleted the newer version of Stremio and replaced it with the older stable version, changed DNS to quad9, double checked my Torrentio configuration, and ran it using Proton VPN. It was slow and laggy, but I think that is more to do with WiFi speeds here than anything else. Tried without VPN and it still worked but didn’t improve speed.

    Thanks, we’re in the US and use a small local ISP that just serves our general area. I keep this account anonymous so wouldn’t give specifics.

    hAP ac² router, belongs to the ISP. Unfortunately I don’t have an Ethernet cable handy to test with at the moment.

    Our WiFi hasn’t come back yet so I’m probably an hour away from a really awkward phone call 😮‍💨

        Real Debrid does the torrenting for you. As long as stremio is configured properly to use it then no torrenting is being done from their home network.
