Just that, I found this web while looking on FMHY and this seems to be the perfect torrenting tool. Is it really?
It seems to have no GB cap though it has speed-cap but it is not that important. And most importantly it is free
Looks cool. But it seems like it’s just somebody else’s server acting as a proxy for you, right? So I’d want to know the same things about them that I’d ask of any proxy service. Where are their servers? Do they keep logs? What’s their privacy policy?
Regarding it being free, I see that they’re serving ads and asking for donations. So the service clearly costs money to run. I doubt it stays free forever, and I hope those servers aren’t US based. 😬
As I said in the other comment. My theory is that the servers are in a place where they are very cheap so it is profitable to just have ads. You think something like that is possible?
It’s possible, but the fact that they’re also asking for donations makes me think that they’re not getting enough money from ads. Also, if this site gets popular and gains a reputation, most advertisers won’t touch piracy websites. So the only ads they’ll get are weird porn sites and male enhancement pills that don’t pay very much.
Also, I don’t want to have a theory on where the servers are, I want to KNOW where the servers are. If they’re not being transparent about that, then my honeypot sense is tingling.
Maybe you’re right. I’ve been looking for the location of their servers and I can’t find anything. Why does it matter? Just to know, so I can avoid sketchy sites. Also, I just though it is safe as it is recommended on fmhy. So I think I will try it some time.
Also, do you know any alternatives? I just want something similar to a seeebox but free. I am too cheap, I know.
Basically, you’re routing your traffic through their servers so you want to know if you can trust them. Anything that goes through a proxy server or VPN server, the owner of that server can see EVERYTHING you’re doing. The most popular VPN providers will submit to third-party audits so that we can be (relatively) certain that they don’t keep logs of what you download and hand them over to the authorities.
Generally, if it’s free, you don’t want it. You already know the rule: if it sounds good to be true, it usually is. You’re telling me that somebody is spending their own money to run a server? Servers are not cheap. AND they’re going to protect me when the police come knocking? All for free??? I smell bullshit.
Yeah you’re probably right. Thanks for the advise.
isn’t it too good to be true? where is the catch?
I literally have no idea. Maybe their servers are on a place where it is really cheap so they can make profit with just ads? Well, it is recommended in the FMHY web so I suppose it is realiable. You can find it with even a star on it in Torrenting section --> Remote torrenting.
What about Real Debrid and the like?
Isn’t real debrid not free?
That, indeed, is true. It’s rather cheap, yet not free.
Never used Real Debrid but from what I’ve read there’s a good chance that Debrid keeps some kind of cache of torrents so the download could be instantaneous. This seems more like a seedbox but with fewer features.
Real debrid and similar services act A) as a multi premium account (so you can download from sites like Mega or Rapidgator etc like you had a premium account for those services) and as a torrent downloader just like webto and such. You paste a link to them and they download it from a torrent and make it available to you for download/stream via regular https.
Whenever someone downloads a Torrent, the debrid service will cache it, the user who queued it wouldn’t be able to download it otherwise of course.
Yet, from that moment on, the debrid service will serve the cached file whenever someone queues that same Torrent instead of downloading the same file over and over again, so it becomes available to you instantly. That’s how torrentio and sich can use debrid services to instantly start a Video stream via Plex or Kodi or Jellyfin or Stremio.
The Downloads you accessed through them become available via your account, so you can even mount the service via rclone and access the downloads like they were on your local filesystem.
So it’s basically webto just with the added bonus of Instant completion to many torrents.
