I see. It has no files available to me "out of the box", on sign up, right? I must point a torrent to it, it will download it and then I will download it later? Can I also upload local files?

I'm sorry, I must sound dumb, but I always had a hard time really understanding WHAT are real debrid benefits.

You cannot upload. So no use as personal cloud. Popular torrents are already cached on their servers so no need to wait. Other plus is you probably max out your line speeds. Traffic is SSL encrypted, no need for vpn
