If you’re seeing a “Real‑Debrid Down” or similar error in Torrentio within Stremio, it usually stems from misconfiguration, outdated or corrupted data, or temporary service issues.
Here are the most common causes and straightforward steps to fix them:
Common Causes & Fixes
1. Invalid or Changed Real‑Debrid API Key
Real‑Debrid may regenerate your API key when you renew or make changes to your subscription. If Torrentio holds an outdated key, it won’t connect.
Fix: Log into Real‑Debrid → go to your account’s API token section → copy the new API key and paste it into Torrentio settings. Reinstall the addon to refresh the connection.
“My APIKEY on realdebrid was reset to a different apikey. You have to uninstall torrentio then reinstall it with your updated apikey.”
“Some debrid services … regenerate your API token when you renew … you will have to reconfigure your addons with the new API token.”
2. Stale or Corrupt Cache / Add‑on Data
Corrupted data can stop Real‑Debrid streams from loading properly.
Fix: Uninstall Torrentio, then clear app cache/data on your device or directly within Stremio (if supported), and reinstall the addon.
“Clear cache and reinstalling the app fixed it for me.”
“Clear cache and data … then re‑authenticate with Real Debrid.”
3. Multiple Tornetio Installations or Conflicting Settings
Having multiple copies of Torrentio or wrong settings can cause token errors.
Fix: Ensure only one instance of Torrentio is installed. If you’ve switched between providers (e.g., Premiumize to Real‑Debrid), clear settings and reconfigure cleanly with the correct provider and API key.
“Slash your errors—you likely just missed a step.” & “Ensure you install v6.11 and don’t exclude non‑3D…”
4. ISP Blocking or Network Issues
Sometimes, network blocks or DNS problems interfere with streaming.
Fix: Try clearing DNS (or switch to Cloudflare DNS), or use a trusted VPN and restart Torrentio.
“My ISP is blocking the links … tried with a VPN and it worked. I then put my DNS to Cloudflare.”
Additional verified steps like switching network types (e.g., mobile data vs Wi‑Fi) or using a VPN may help.
5. Temporary Outages
Occasionally, Torrentio or Real‑Debrid servers may be down or undergoing maintenance.
Fix: Check forums (e.g., Reddit, Stremio communities) for reports, wait for the service to return online, then retry.
“Sometimes users report outages on platforms like Reddit … wait a while and try again later.”
