1. You Send Requests
Sonarr/Radarr sends torrents or NZB files to Decypharr (like it would to qBittorrent/Sabnzbd).
Decypharr
Media gateway for Debrid & Usenet.
What is Decypharr?
Section titled “What is Decypharr?”Decypharr bridges your media automation tools (Sonarr, Radarr, etc.) with Debrid services and Usenet providers. Instead of downloading torrents and NZB files to your local storage, Decypharr streams them directly from the cloud.
In Simple Terms
Section titled “In Simple Terms”Without Decypharr:
- Sonarr/Radarr finds a torrent
- qBittorrent downloads it to your hard drive (takes time, uses disk space)
- Your media server (Plex/Jellyfin) plays from local storage
With Decypharr:
- Sonarr/Radarr finds a torrent
- Decypharr sends it to your Debrid provider (Real Debrid, All Debrid, etc.)
- The Debrid service downloads it to their servers (fast, no local disk needed)
- Decypharr mounts the remote files as if they were on your computer
- Your media server streams directly from the cloud
Key Benefits
Section titled “Key Benefits”- No Downloads - Files stream from Debrid/Usenet providers, saving local storage

- Works with Arrs - Drop-in replacement for qBittorrent/Sabnzbd
- Hybrid Support - Use both Debrid (torrents) and Usenet simultaneously

How It Works Steps
Section titled “How It Works Steps”2. Decypharr Processes
Decypharr forwards torrents to your Debrid provider or processes NZBs via direct NNTP connection.
3. Cloud Storage
Debrid services download torrents to their servers. Usenet content is streamed on-demand from NNTP servers.
4. Files Appear Locally
Decypharr mounts remote files using DFS, Rclone, or serves via WebDAV - appears as local filesystem.
