Debrid Support for Real-Debrid, AllDebrid, Premiumize & Debrid-Link

Ascendara 12.1.0 · November 6, 2026

Ascendara now works with Real-Debrid, AllDebrid, Premiumize and Debrid-Link alongside TorBox. Premium host links download at full speed, and magnets download in the cloud without qBittorrent, then move to your PC and install like any other game. Sign in to Real-Debrid with a code or AllDebrid with a PIN, drag your services into the order they are tried in, and pick a service for any single download. A new Debrid Downloads page shows everything in the cloud and on its way to your PC, and Debrid has its own page in Settings. Elsewhere, the navigation bar folds into a row of colored dots while you scroll, Ascendara offers to repair itself when its own files go missing, games warn before launching when antivirus has removed their online-fix files, and a new Reduce Effects setting cuts CPU and GPU use.
