Nightly builds for sponsors
Your whole
debrid library.
As one folder.
zurg puts everything in your debrid accounts into a single folder on your machine. Plex and Jellyfin and Emby read it like a normal drive. Nothing downloads and nothing fills up your disk.
A new build lands every day. There is also a free public version that works with Real-Debrid on its own.
Measured on 2026-08-19 on a small two core server. Every figure here comes from a real run and the full write up is public. Read the baseline
01 / What it does
One folder.
Every account.
Two accounts. One library.
The same film on two services shows up once and not twice. If one account is busy or rate limited zurg quietly reads from the other so playback carries on.
It plays the awkward stuff.
Releases packed into RAR or 7z play without unpacking anything first. Posts that arrive with scrambled filenames get their real names back. Missing pieces are rebuilt on the fly instead of being skipped.
It fixes itself.
Real-Debrid links go stale over time even while the download still looks fine. zurg finds the dead ones and swaps them out before you hit a file that will not play.
Services that build a fresh link every time are left alone. There is nothing there to go stale.
02 / The dashboard
Everything it knows.
On one page.
Real screenshots from a live library of 6207 releases. Release names are blurred on purpose. Nothing else is touched up.
03 / Head to head
We tried five other tools.
Then we wrote guides for moving off them.
Each was tested on 2026-08-19 on exactly the same downloads as zurg. We are not naming them here. Each one is named in its own moving guide for anyone switching across.
One renamed your files.
The episode arrived under the name of the download rather than its own name. Plex is then left guessing what it is.
zurg keeps the original name so Plex matches it first time.
One handed back an empty folder.
Some downloads arrive with scrambled filenames. This one could not work out what was inside and left you with nothing at all.
zurg reads the real names out of the file itself and hands you the episode.
One refused a season that was fine.
It reported a ten episode season as missing from the server. We went and checked by hand. Every episode was sitting right there.
zurg took the same season and played all ten.
One works well and stopped.
It handles everything zurg handles. Its last release was April 2026 and nobody maintains it now. It also leaves repair files cluttering up your folders.
Nothing here is broken. It is just standing still.
One will not play packed releases.
It keeps no library and gives you no folder. Its own notes say packed releases will not play. Scrambled filenames are turned away too.
zurg plays both and keeps your library.
Coming from something else
Every guide is built around one promise. Plex does not start over. Nothing gets deleted. Your watched history and play counts and collections and artwork all survive the move.
All five guides04 / Speed
How fast it
actually is.
One 7.31 GB film on a small two core server on 2026-08-19. This is zurg on three different services and not a race against other tools.

05 / Access
The nightly is for sponsors.
Everything on this page is in the nightly build. A fresh one is built every day. Sponsor on GitHub or Patreon and your access switches on by itself.
GitHub and Patreon turn your access on by themselves. PayPal works too but it is a one off rather than a subscription so send your GitHub username along with it and access gets added by hand.
Already sponsoring? The guide to getting the private image walks you through it.
06 / Quick start
Running in one command.
zurg sets itself up. It fetches the two helper programs it needs and starts on port 9999. Everything after that is point and click in the dashboard.
