I'd strongly advise not using debrid. With debrid you're leeching off torrents without ever seeding anything back. It's an abusive system. Not to mention it's usually not files of any level of quality.

That doesn't make any sense. The whole point of the debrid service is that it caches the torrent. When my client wants to stream the content, the debrid doesn't leech it from seeders it just pulls it from the cache.

The quality seems fine, for everything I've looked at thus far there's all the usual types of releases.

Sure you're pulling from the debrid service but debrid still hit and runs the torrent. Aside from one or two providers that seed for a day or something.

Only if it's not already cached.

The cache doesn't come from thin air. At one point or another they HnR'ed the torrent.

No shit. They HnR one time and provide to many thousands of downloaders, a not insignificant portion of whom would otherwise have been HnRs.
