This is why torrents are better! I torrent the highest quality files I can find so I'd blow through that 500gb quickly.
Unlimited Usenet plans are pretty cheap to depending on sales.
Edit to add: I'm not a quality snob, but I'd probably blow through 500GB way too quickly.
Use to last me 2-3 months... but my media library is more or less complete now, with little churn. Also, I don't ever go above 1080p.
I need to check if Radarr / Sonarr works with straight torrents (it must do; I haven't used them for ages / have been using 1337 manually, but I seem to recall torrents being a source).
Debatable :) Torrents rely on seeders. I've downloaded movies and TV shows >5 yrs since initial upload via Usenet. Yes, things expire there too (eventually), but when the getting is good, it's uniformly good / fast.
OTOH, 1337 has been pretty decent to me of late.
It's tricky. On one hand, Jellyfin and the arr stack are what got me into self hosting. OTOH...torrents are simpler - I can plug my external SSD directly into my router, which streams to NovaPlayer on any android device - nothing else needed. Want a new show / movie? Grab the torrent, punt it across to ssd via samba share. It auto populates.

It's...simpler. Arguably more elegant / less moving parts.
Dunno.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i'm on two private trackers that aren't that hard to get into and I routinely download 10 plus year old 50 - 100 gb files with good seeds. I have never run into something not decently seeded since I went private.
Would love to hear about these trackers too!
Which trackers if you don't mind saying? DM me if easier.
