Exactly the situation I’m facing. Despite torrents being a popular choice, it just doesn’t provide an easy way to manage your seeds.
Of course I have found some potential solutions. Seedbox is one of them. There’s also the *arr suite, which is a more local solution that utilises hard links - but im not sure if it’ll be effective if you want to reencode.
I have an *arr suite back at home (and had one back at work, once). It’s quite local yes but I feel that to be to its advantage in this case since it’s for downloading, not uploading. No advantage if I want to reencode, since in an *arrsetup you just post-process the files as usual and remove the originals. OTOH, you can easily connect it to your Jellyfin, mpd, etc…, but by that point I just connect the folder with the post-processed stuff.
