Also, we are now seeing more 2180p.1080p were big enough, but the files just keep getting larger. I now pay double what I started out with just to know I can throw anything at the seedbox-processors and it will "just work".

Curiously, the hardest files to play via Plex on the seedbox are the HEVC files. Mostly, I keep the historical stuff and books without purging. It is hard for the ocd-archivist in me to let things go, but, yes: it seems like more and more content is being made each day, and it is getting harder and harder to justify paying to store it. For now, I am just happy to lighten the load on my local drives. I just got my seedbox up and running only a few months ago, as you know. Slowly, I will build the seeds that I want to share permanently, too. The seedbox is the best way to seed things for a long time, isn't it. I usually try to stay current when I upload something.Ĭheers, many thanks for your thoughts. But there are still a lot of old torrents that are like little goldmines of information. Even though the uploads pause at 50gb and I have to manually tweak the program to get it to seed again.Īll of the old multimedia basically needs to be re-ripped again to have better quality video codecs etc.

But archives like my old Joseph Campbell archive and all of my ConCen torrents I obviously keep forever. One-time watch movies and other multimedia that just isn't important.

My seedbox company used to add a free 15gb or more monthly to my online hard-drive space, so I have upwards of 3 or more TB for my seedbox. But mostly nowadays multimedia is streaming for one-time use and should just be deleted after, unless it's really important and you will want to see it again (and again).īut for me, my most important multimedia I back up by uploading as torrents and storing on my seedbox. Right now I am not really saving as much of what I find online, except on my seedbox and some stuff on my computer's hard-drive.

I guess you could say you are a professional archivist! I used to store all my data on CD-Rs and DVD-Rs back in the day, and I also had external hard-drives. But it is interesting for me to date-stamp when I downloaded books I have seen a lot of academic text sites come and go over the years! Oldest files I have date from when I started (c. Yay, me!Īll in all, I have a fairly viable personal library that is now fully searchable. I have been surprised and happy to discover that my own library had more answers than what I could find via Google. [It might seem that the above step is pointless since "trivia is meaningless in the face of google", but the reality is that there are still many paywalls in place. Happily, it even indexes the contents of ePub files, so I finally solved that problem. I had to supplement it with a real cataloger called "NeoFinder". Indexing the books takes the longest amount of time, and even my new M1 chip struggles. I will separate my files locally by format, usually: one drive for books, one drive for non-fiction video, one drive for tv/movies, etc. I have about 20Tb of local files, at last count, much of which I have recently had to review by asking, "Do I really need/wanna keep this?" That's where the seedbox has helped vet things first. Neat layer: Plex plays videos across all my devices both from the seedbox and my local drives so I don't need to transfer anything to view it. Third layer of defense: backblaze backing up all my local drives for 1 year. ExpressVPN can also be configured "per app". I won't keep everything from these big dumps, but the archivist in me cannot resist getting my hands dirty :) All behind a vpn, of course.Īny other styles of organizing your files, or approaching torrents out there?įirst layer of defense: seedbox. Much easier to weed and purge on my local drive, anyway. In the case of these impossibly large torrents, however, I won't bother with the seedbox since it will take me forever to transfer hundreds of gigabytes via so-slow FTP. How do you decide what you will keep and what you will purge on it? In my case, I use my seedbox more as a sandbox (nice pun not intended): anything I really like, I later transfer to my local computer "for keeps".
