  • Not sure if I entirely understand what you’re asking but here’s my setup that sounds similar-ish that might help.

    I’ve got essentially 3 machines

    1. Download machine - contains Sonarr/Radar/Nzbget, etc… This machine isn’t very powerful but it has A LOT of RAM.
    2. A Nas - this is where everything gets downloaded to. Primarily this machine just has a lot of HDD space.
    3. Jellyfin box – Decent RAM and a beefy CPU for transcoding.

    The download machine has a network share to download directly to the NAS in a special /downloads/ folder. Once a download completes Sonarr, etc… move it to it’s correct media folder.

    Finally the Jellyfin machine is monitoring the media folders for changes.

    I assume you could set up something similar with Plex instead of jellyfin and then store the fully downloaded files on a separate machine with a network drive, so Plex can see it. Essentially the NAS for you would be two machines one (the seedbox) for the partial downloads and a local NAS for the fully downloaded files?

    Anyway, not sure if that’s what you’re looking for.



  • Unless you have an account there’s no easy way to get access to the content on the page. Once you have an account there’s technically nothing stopping you from just saving the HTML file to your computer.

    Something else you can try though, assuming you don’t have an account, is to just turn off JavaScript. If the site lets you partially load the content and then asks you to create an account to read more, they usually just block the content by having JavaScript add an opaque overlay. With JavaScript disabled, obviously it’s not there to add the overlay and you’re able to keep reading.



    1. Yes most trackers have something on their website to let you know what your ratio is, what you’re downloading and how long you’ve been seeding those files.
    2. With the trackers I’m familiar with yes – seeding for 9d 23h 59m and 59s is the same as seeding for 0s. You’ll still get tagged with a HnR (Hit and Run)
    3. You can shutdown as much as you like. But, again the trackers that I’m familiar with have a cap on the number of HnRs you can have on your account. So you might have action taken against you if you’re seeding 5 different torrents and decide to shutdown.
    4. Don’t know.
    5. The rest don’t appear to be questions so not sure how to respond.

  • So here’s my current setup (each one is a separate docker container):

    Download machine: (has lots of RAM and HDD space)

    • Nginx (for reverse proxy)
    • Sonarr (tv)
    • Radar (movies)
    • Prowlarr (organizing download sources)
    • Qbittorrent (make sure to bind to Wireguard interface)
    • Wireguard (for qbittorrent VPN)
    • Nzbget (Usenet)
    • Szabnzb (also Usenet; some providers work better with Szabnzb for whatever reason)
    • Portainer agent (for remote docker management)
    • Watchtower (for automatic updates)

    Tv machine: (can transcode)

    • Nginx
    • Jellyfin (to transcode and actually watch the content)
    • Portainer agent (for remote docker management)
    • Watchtower (automatic updates)

    I’m not aware of a single container that has all of this bundled together though.
