Commenting so I don’t lose this post, because I’m curious too.

As a goth, I’m jealous of your party!

Got em

Can you estimate % of space saved?

I consistently rely on people in situations like yours, so thank you

Times are tough

Good luck

Problem solved. I’m a damn idiot. I have Prowlarr, Sonarr, and Radarr set up…totally forgot about Lidarr. Thank you, sorry for the ignorance

Yeah, that’s what I thought but I wanted to try. Hate not giving back when I get something. I’m trying to retroactively seed my entire music library if possible. Looks like I’d have to make my own torrents

Yeah, that’s what I was expecting unfortunately… The problem isn’t the filenames, the problem is that the downloaded files lack any real metadata, so my media libraries ignore the files…I’m also talking about terabytes of files that I can’t afford to duplicate right now. Maybe I’ll make my own public torrents?

In my case, I’m always seeding hundreds of torrents…yet my upload rarely goes above 1 or maaaybe 2 Mbps. Could just be luck, but you can always throttle the speeds if you need to

Everybody should look into hardlinks and cross-seeding. By today’s standards, it’s painless and very unlikely to ever take up your bandwith

Once you have an automated setup like that, is IPTV even worth it if you don’t like live events?

Damn…got a rack server full of drives?

I set the minimum to 5 seeders, and I’m on 3 private trackers and raised their priority. Prowlarr doesn’t seem to care

I’m having a similar issue myself. I followed the trash guides, and ended up consistently pulling torrents with 1 or 0 seeds despite setting the minimum seeders in prowlarr to 5. Manually searching fixes it, but also defeats the purpose

That sounds like something that should be ARCHIVEd. Just in case a visitor from a different GALAXY wants to use them in the distant future

I have about 1TB of music, and I’m listening to music all the time. My go-to has been a Jellyfin server with either the desktop client or Finamp on my phone. I used to use Gelli on my phone, but it stopped working a few months ago

Good luck

To add on this, most musicians make little money off physical releases. If they’re an indie group/artist, they’re probably losing money in the hopes that they gain an audience. Shows usually pay artists (but trust me, not always), and merch always gives artists something to keep them going (unless they’re a victim of a 360 deal).

I respect you for asking
