With everything happening with Netflix and Max it’s time to cut bait.

I was looking at renting a seedbox for torrents. I have a pretty old Synology I use for local streaming but it’s too old to run Plex or even vpn properly without mucking about at the os layer.

How do people get stuff off their seedbox? Do they just manually download stuff when it’s done downloading? Do they stream directly, as some appear to support jellyfin and Plex? Do they use rsync or something to automate transfers?

      I second this. I have unraid setup now and just seed from my local machine, but when I used a seedbox I had sonarr and radarr folders set to sync locally to my machine, then hard link the miles. After it’s “moved” into the plex folders, sonarr and radarr move the download to another category in qbit where it just sits and seeds
