  • Am also on linux. I have a bigger question about how to manage the downloaded files overall but I decided to start with a more specific post and see how that went. ;)

    Previously I would move everything after done and a bit of seeding. Lately I’ve just been letting it accrue where it lands and seed indefinately. However that’s not really viable as I move past VLC as media player. Media management software (kodi, jellyfin etc) has file structure requirements, it wants to write nfo files and so on. Also I don’t have infinite HDD space so some stuff I just delete after watching.

    Is there some kind of tool you use to manage the symlinks? Or you create them all manually in the cli or gui/cli/tui file manager? What’s the workflow?

    Another benefit of leaving everything in the torrent client is remembering what I already have without doing a file system search all the time. I do really like that aspect.
