I was looking through the megathread and saw this real-debrid thing. I have heard this name some times so I read what it does but wasn't able to understand it. If someone could explain it to me I would appreciate it.

Also, it caught my attention that "it's a good way to prevent your IP from ever hitting the torrent's swarm, which is the main cause of receiving copyright infringement letters". Does this mean it's an alternative to a VPN when torrenting? Is it like a seedboxes or something? Are there any free alternatives?

Oh nevermind, it says something like the amount in local currency will also be displayed. I somehow interpreted it as price varying depending on the country. Here's the original text if you are curious:

You can find all of our premium offers here : https://real-debrid.com/premium

All our prices are in EURO (EUR - €) but it is also displayed in your currency based on your current location. If you want to double-check, you can convert them in your currency with this website : http://www.xe.com/

Informations :

Additional fees may be applied by your bank if your bank account is in another currency (for currency exchange)

There are no recurring payments (one time payment only).

Days are cumulative, it means that if you still have remaining days, the days you buy will be added to your current number of days.

It can be found by typing "price" into the help section.

Choosing the country you live in when using the VPN would be better then?

Ah okay now I understand too.

I like to choose my own country in the VPN, I think it's the best bet for connection stability. Contract wise I don't think Real-Debrid cares at all what your IP is, so many people fake it anyway.
