Why don't you just use real debrid or something and stream the torrents remotely?
I am gonna give you a couple answers for that based on what I have read in other places such as Reddit, perhaps OP does not agree with them.
RD or debrid services in general are paid services and it goes against their piracy beliefs (This is the silliest thing I could ever read... It only makes sense if you don't care for quality and/or you haven't tried a debrid service in your life).
Streaming torrents even paired with debrid services or VPNs (not needed when using a debrid service, or in some countries for bare torrenting) is more cumbersome than just using a website (even in this day and age when Stremio exists), which I kinda agree with them... But you get what you pay for... Am I right?
They just don't have a clue of what a debrid service is.
Sounds like streaming from a streaming site with extra steps. But yeah when I torrent I use a cheap seedbox and then download from there to my own hardware.
Except that such an extra step is way better in quality and streaming speeds, compared to streaming sites, if you care about this or 1080p/4K high bitrate media.
As a matter of fact, since you can stream and also download torrents with a debrid service, I'd say paying a cheap seedbox (debrid services are cheap as well) is torrenting with extra steps... Without the ability to stream.
