Wtf does this do

This is an add-on for Stremio, a streaming app that lets you watch movies and TV shows from various sources in one place. This particular add-on pulls content from 1337x, a torrent site, and makes those torrents available to stream directly through Stremio's interface. When you install this add-on, Stremio will show you movies and TV series from 1337x as streaming options alongside other sources. Instead of having to visit a separate torrent site, search for content, and download files manually, you can browse and play torrents right from within Stremio like you would with any other streaming service. The add-on was designed to expand Stremio's library by tapping into 1337x's catalog. You could install it if you wanted easier access to torrented content without leaving the Stremio app. The installation is straightforward, you can either visit the add-on's homepage or find it in Stremio's built-in add-on manager under the Movies section. It's worth noting that the original project has been moved elsewhere. The README indicates this repository is no longer the active version, and development has continued in a different location. If you're looking to use or contribute to this add-on, you'd want to check that newer repository instead.
