Me too, but my library must not be nearly as impressive.

Some of the more high quality 4k releases (even 1080p ones) just gobbles up storage. I had to settle for the more optimized releases since I just have a 8tb external drive. Wanted to build a nas but man they are expensive, both a good nas and even the basic hard disks. Can't wait for the bubble to pop.

If you're not wanting Remux Rips I'd really suggest converting your files to H.265, it's got much better compression ratios than H.264. You can set up tdarr or fileflows (fileflows is much easier if you don't want to write the ffmpeg yourself) to run through your library and automatically run conversions on new files. I use it to also strip foreign language tracks from files where it's neither the primary track nor original language

True, although I would like to continue seeding forever even on cgnat and keep the hard links. But I do have higher scores to get av1 and hevc whenever possible.
