Every debrid account and Usenet
in one folder.

One article of 1669 was gone from the news server. Four of the five never got it back. Two served silence forever and one served no bytes at all and one refused the whole file. Reading again eight minutes later changed nothing.

zurg rebuilt the missing span from the parity files while it was still serving reads.

It imported nine episodes of a ten episode season and warned nobody. On another release its own health page blamed a missing article. We checked all 1010 articles in that post one at a time and every one was there.

zurg imported both and served both.

It promises the full length and then closes the connection partway through. Four of six reads never delivered the bytes they said they would. The first read after a restart is the one at risk.

zurg finished all six.

Some downloads arrive with scrambled filenames. This one never imported the release at all so there was nothing to open.

zurg reads the real names out of the file itself and hands you the episode.

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.

It handles a lot of what zurg handles. Its last commit was 27 May 2026 and nobody maintains it now. It also leaves repair files cluttering up your folders.

Nothing here is broken. It is just standing still.

It keeps no library and gives you no folder. Its own notes say packed releases will not play. It sat this round out because the build it ships is on no public branch.

zurg plays both and keeps your library.

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.

zurg rebuilds what the parity files can cover. Past that you get an empty folder rather than an error. There is nothing left to serve.

zurg does not test a release before you press play. A bad one turns up when you open it rather than being quietly skipped in advance.

There is no search and no ranking and no scoring inside zurg. Sonarr and Radarr do that part or you do it by hand.

zurg gives you a folder and a library and leaves playing things to your media server. If Stremio is how you watch then this is not a drop in for it.

The first build is slow on purpose. zurg holds itself to a polite request rate which works out at about half a second per torrent on Real-Debrid. After the first pass it keeps up on its own.

Everything was measured on a single two core server against one news account. A bigger machine or a different backbone will move these numbers. Comparing them to a run from another day is not valid either.

zurg is built by the same person who ran the benchmark. That is a good reason not to take any of it on trust. Speed also depends on your machine and your connection so our numbers are not your numbers. zurg ships the same measurement as a command.

zurg now builds the rest of its own install. It fetches rclone and ffprobe then creates the mount and auto-start. You still need a media server unless Infuse reads the WebDAV directly.
