I'm looking for a good/cheap long-term way to seed massive archives (20TB and growing) without burning out my home NAS. I want to keep sharing the full archive, mostly private tracker stuff, but my local setup is starting to choke on the load, especially at 24/7 and the power bills that come with it.
I thought about moving the whole thing to a high-capacity seedbox (some go up to 100TB or more) and offloading the stress from my hardware entirely. I used to run a smaller 6TB setup on AppBox and they do have higher capacity options BUT they're still a bit too expensive to pay monthly for me (https://www.appbox.co/).
So ideally, I'd want to automate syncing new files via rclone or Nextcloud, keep things seeding full-time via ruTorrent/qBittorrent, and still have access for remote streaming or file management. And save as much as possible.
So if you have a fully remote setup for long-term seeding, how are you doing it? What works better in terms of stability, bandwidth, tracker compliance, and so on?
