In Stremio Im using torrent plugins, not streaming websites.

Gotcha, i only use the debrid links so my knowledge on this was how cinemahd used to do it in the past

But to answer your question, if there is a plugin with a torrent client included then it is most likely set up to download the files sequentially to allow streaming but i would assume it is set to turn upload off (so it leeches) because your tv would probably buffer more if it used additional bandwith

If thats the case (not 100%) then that may be why they are trying to block stremio
