- Real Debrid is Down Due to Anti-Piracy Measures
- Other Paid Services Seem to be Currently Working
- Umbrella and Fen Lite have now made a work around that circumvent the new RD block.
- Addons with Free Links Still Work
UPDATE: Umbrella and Fen Lite admins have made a work around that circumvent the new RD block. Update from the Repo and they should be working.
The service Real Debrid is currently not working and having issues.
They have posted on their social media account X that this is due to a strengthening its anti-piracy measures.
Following a formal notice from the FNEF (“https://fnef.fr/les-adherents/”), Real-Debrid is strengthening its anti-piracy measures.
As you already know, we actively comply with DMCA and are already blocking a certain number of infringing torrents.
In the coming hours:
– audiovisual files available on a number of cyberlockers listed on the USTR blacklist or listed in the European “CCounterfeit and Piracy Watch List” will all be blocked.
– a filtering by file name will also be applied, in accordance with the request of the FNEF, this may unfortunately lead to false positives that we will process manually.
– a blocking of all torrents hashes of private torrent trackers mentioned in cases at the Paris judicial court
– a complete purge of files potentially cached on the previously mentioned criteria
– the deactivation of the API endpoint /instantAvaibility
– a blocking of counterfeit Kodi / Stremio applications to the extent that they are identifiable
In response to this notice Real Debrid has tightened its anti-piracy measures, which will cause issues with the service.
There are reports they are issuing refunds even if the service has already been used and it is after the 14-day trial period.
If you do want a refund open a ticket in the help support section to get the process started and find out more information.
There are also many workarounds posted on social media, such as Reddit, on how to get Real Debrid working again.
How well and for how long the workaround keeps going is unknown.
Other paid services such as such as All-Debrid and Premiumize seem to still be working.
Best Alternative Real Debrid Kodi Addons with Free Links
How Does This Affect Kodi Addons?
Real Debrid has long been apart of Kodi addons, Stremio, and other types of streaming apps, with the full effect of the limited service yet to be known.
If you use a Kodi addon and Real Debrid service, another source for the links will need to be found.
While other paid services can currently be used, they also may eventually be impacted.
There are also numerous workarounds being posted on social media that may work short term, but a long-term fix is unknown.
If you use a free link addon such as Scrubs V2, you will be less impacted, although users shifting away from paid links may cause a slowdown and more buffering.
This is an ongoing story, which we will update this post as more is known.
Don’t move to other service yet other companies are incorporated also in France. This means that whatever court order RD has been served, could also be on the way for others too.
RD: France
AllDebrid: France
Premiumize: Belgium*
DebridLink: France
Offcloud: Bulgaria
Put.io: Turkey
And I just renewed my subscription.
Bought the 6 months plan a week ago but i opened a ticked and they refunded me! Even with a lot of traffic used on those days!
So is that rip for RD? Is the setup obsolete now?
