The only way I can see switching my Luddite family off of the streaming sites is by making it easier. Up until now, I’ve torrented the old fashioned way, but now I’m moving into plex (ik, ik, jellyfin is better) and want to start using the -arrs. As I understand it, which I’m not sure I do, the -arrs will automatically grab torrents. In my mind, this would eat up a TB pretty quickly. Do you guys all have massive SSDs (heh), or am I misunderstanding?

    I have a simple shell script that runs every night at 4am. It sets a size limit, then it deletes one episode at a time (starting with the oldest) until the directory size is under the limit. So a first in first out system. Scheduled it 3 years ago, and i just never run out of space ever.
