I have been having issues using real debrid. One of the big issues is downloads getting stuck continuously retrying. I think this is because I am using 5G internet that has issues with latency and occasional packet loss. Similarly I get buffering issues when using Stremio.

Another problem I am having is with the permission set by the real debrid client if I use the docker version. It doesn't allow for changing the UID and GID the real debrid process uses. This causes problems for the other services, though I can work around this using a manual installation in an LXC container.

Does anyone with more experience know how to fix this?

Edit: I can't edit the title to fix the spelling. You will just have to deal.

Edit2: Fixed the permission issues. Also managed to work out that the problem isn't 5G. The download client is just bad. Apparently you can use external downloaders, but this requires deploying services like aria2c, which it turns out is actually quite hard.

I'm on 5G here and have no problems so I don't think that is it. If you are doing the downloads through your browser I've found Firefox is pretty unreliable and fails to download often. Usually hitting retry and waiting a few second fixes it though so I'm not sure if that is what is happening to you. I instead use the link grabber feature through Jdownloader and download through there. Stremio performance is flawless for me, except when Debris itself or the add-on is down.

Edit: Though I've never heard of an ISP doing this I presume they would be able to throttle any traffic with you connecting to a debrief server, I reckon that is highly unlikely however.

I am using this client: https://github.com/rogerfar/rdt-client

I might have to try JDownloader. I forgot you could use it as a debrid client.

Can't tell if you're having a problem with birds or debris. Maybe it's a problem of debris from debirding. Either way, good luck 👍
