I have a PLEX server/torrent box behind a VPN. I then wrote a fairly simple Apple Shortcut that grabs the magnet link off whatever page I’m on, then shoots the magnet link over the torrent API.

It took some work to set up, but I shared the Apple shortcut with my wife and she now uses it and it’s super easy and convenient. So much so that I need to buy a new hard drive as she’s filled up our 8TB drive with TV shows.

Do you watch content more than once?

Just curious because I tend not to (except for Equilibrium, of course).

I've heard most things worth watching are still out there later on, maybe just keep the links.

18 TB drives are the sweet spot for price right now.

I feel this year around the holidays (US) will see good deals on HDDs. Prices have held steady for a rather long time e.g. 4TB still around 80-120 for consumer and nas based drives.

Drive shucking is still viable depending on the external drive, for anyone who wants cheap(er) drives but with some work.
