This guide provides detailed instructions for enhancing your Stremio experience by installing Torrentio and integrating it with Real Debrid for improved streaming performance.
What is Torrentio?
Torrentio is a popular addon for Stremio that aggregates content from various torrent providers and presents them in a user-friendly interface. When combined with Real Debrid, it offers several advantages:
- Faster streaming speeds
- Better content availability
- IP protection (your IP isn’t shared in peer-to-peer networks)
- Higher quality streaming options
Installing Torrentio
-
Navigate to the Torrentio configuration page at https://torrentio.strem.fun/configure

At this point, you can choose to install Torrentio without a debrid provider. However, for enhanced performance and security, we recommend integrating with Real Debrid.
