        The issue with Streamio is that it uses torrents but doesn’t seed. It just caches the content and then deletes it. If everyone used Streamio, nobody would be able to because there would be no seeds for anything.

          It’s the reason I stopped using Stremio but it’s also the reason why it remains legal in some countries. Popcorn Time had an option to enable/disable seeding on the settings. I really wish Stremio had the same.

          I want to keep my ratio above 10, so I use a combination of several other things to replace Stremio on Android TV. It’s a lot less polished but I get a good feeling from seeding.
