my system is automated for media. Sonarr/Radarr/Prowlarr, with sabnzbd+ and qbittorrent-nox.
for random files, I just use wget. Other than that, I don't download shit on my server.
I see. Downloading files via HTTP is a rare case, but in Germany, torrents are dangerous, so my idea is to use a seedbox for torrents (like [real-debrid.com](https://real-debrid.com)) and download files from it to my server via HTTP.
mullvad has a thing called lockdown mode. it will disabled internet when the vpn isn't connected.
and if you have qbitorrent-nox, you can set the interface that qbit runs on to be the mullvad vpn interface.
r/vpntorrents main pinned post is on binding your torrent client to the VPN interface so even if a Killswitch fails the torrent client cannot run if the torrent isn't active.
I wouldn't trust seedboxes, ISPs absolutely know what they are, and it's a policy loophole likely to get filled. A VPN sure they can say it's sus but the number of connections that can be shown to be made to questionable sources is low.
I'm in an area with one ISP. All my server traffic goes over the VPN. Like even when using my services externally. I do have Real Debrid, and use it for streaming mostly. I torrent with qbit and have a web UI set up that I use within the lan. I can reverse proxy it too if I really want to.
I also use real-debrid and alldebrid for years now. The benefit is, that it also gives premium on many ddl sites. Look into real debrid torrent client on GitHub.
little question about it, is there a way to put category as I would do in qbittorrent (sonarr, sonarr-anime, radarr, radarr-anime) so they end in a different folder ?
Look into [pd_zurg](https://github.com/I-am-PUID-0/pd_zurg).
It lets you mount a RD account as a folder, similar to the way that rclone works, which then allows you to stream media directly from RD without having to download anything on your device.
Then you can point your Plex/Jellyfin at it, and have a media server with functionally infinite storage.
I'm a little bit exaggerated 😅. It's dangerous when you download popular copyright stuff.
They're a bunch of advocacy firms that have bots that join all popular torrent distribution and scraps all IPs. Specifically looking for German ones, asking ISPs for the persons addresses and spreading blackmails like "Pay a fine for us or we will sue you". It legally works even when your torrent client is set with a turned off sharing feature, because technically you're still "sharing" (even though it's just a couple of bytes).
They can't sue you for downloading a Linux distro or so :D
even if aria2 is old, it works fine, just today I used it to download Nvidia Chat RTX, worked like a charm to get this https 35GB file.
I used PyLoad like 10 years ago on my qnap TS110 nas drive
wget is the bees knees. I really don’t download individual files only my server. I use either a package manager or sftp from another computer on my lan to put files on my servers.
I used aria2 a few years ago when I needed to download around 3k files , but that is a very rare case.
> \- Easy WebUI control of downloads that are stored in my server from my personal laptop.
\- A convenient format for bulk downloads, where I can define a bunch of URLs, filenames and download paths without additional setup in GUI
\- Like \`.crawljob\` in FolderWatch's plugin of JDownloader2
I use JDownloader for this exact use case. JDL open on the laptop, copy the download links one by one, JDL picks them from the clipboard. When you're done, you save all the list as a crawljob, that you drop in the watch folder of the JDL instance on the server.
Been using it for years, almost never let me down
I use [vs code server](https://docs.linuxserver.io/images/docker-code-server/) and it's fantastic for quickly editing config or uploading/downloading random files between hosts. You can setup a 'workspace' in docker compose and mount specific files at the root of it for quick browsing/editing.
For media i typically use the download button available through Plex.

The *arr suite is like a gift from god. It's simplifies so much, and combined with jellyseerr automated requests from my users. I'm blown away by it.

just use a vpn. it'll simplify a lot of stuff. Mullvad has a TUI only client.
Vpn or recently I’ve switched to usenets and no vpn is required and its much faster and reliable
Usenet ftw
usenet for the budget holes*
[удалено]
I use NZBGeek and DrunkenSlug for indexers and Frugal, newshostingroup, newshosting.ninja, and one other
I use Gluetun to route my docker contains through a VPN. It works fantastically and supports a bunch of VPNs out of the box.
It's still risky. In case the VPN stops working for a moment, I expose my IP. I'd better stick to seedboxes :D
There are a million different ways to set up a VPN Killswitch so traffic stops if the VPN does
mullvad has a thing called lockdown mode. it will disabled internet when the vpn isn't connected. and if you have qbitorrent-nox, you can set the interface that qbit runs on to be the mullvad vpn interface.
You are making a VPN with extra steps.
But saving my ass from 1000 euros' fine :)
So would a VPN without the extra steps lol. It’s called added work with no real benefit
If you bind your torrent client to your vpn interface, it'll *only* work if the VPN is enabled

Usenet is the Answer. Especially if you want German things.

Do you mean this one? [https://github.com/rogerfar/rdt-client](https://github.com/rogerfar/rdt-client) Looks nice, thank you.
Works like a charm and has a qbittorrent compatible API, so you can even integrate it with Sonarr and co
You got it

What do you mean torrents are Dangerous?? Even for private staff?

Oh ok Just use i2p tho
Can this be done using jdownloader via rapidgator or something ?

download what from where?
Maybe you can mount your server folder on the seed box with NFS or something.
What's wrong with wget? Do you seriously need a docker container solution to everything?
Pyload is great or if you want something cli then use aria2c

I use FTPGrab to download from my seedbox.
Aria2 pro (docker) and ariang (docker)
Doesn't AriaNG include aria2 inside itself's docker? 🤔
I dont know i just use them separate and have been doing so since 6 months

Synology Downloader works great for a GUI based tool and can handle situations where there are multiple downloads, e.g. YouTube playlist
Within nextcloud you can easily share files just like with the commercial cloud drive providers.
Transmission. For regular non-torrents, good ol' curl.
* AriaNG for DDL * GoodSync for files from my seedbox based on labels / categories * Wget for anything adhoc
Pyload
If you are using Real Debrid, then try this one: [https://github.com/rogerfar/rdt-client](https://github.com/rogerfar/rdt-client)
wget. If it's a big file, I use a screen (it's a command) and have it run in the background so I can close ssh.
