when a user clicks on the media, the media gets downloaded from the piracy site if it isn't already downloaded
the media isn't deleted afterwards but instead remains there indefinitely as a cache

sounds like what you want to set up is similar to radarr/sonarr. These are not plugins for jellyfin, but rather they serve to organize your collections, as well as search for torrents. Start your research with the following

Radarr
Sonarr
Jackett

Seconding what @EGirlEnthusiast@lemmy.fmhy.ml mentioned -- Sonarr, Radarr, and Jackett are the way to go for this.

My current setup has Sonarr (tv) and Radarr (movies) automatically download releases when they're posted to the indexer. For that I use Prowlarr which serves the same purpose as Jackett; Prowlarr goes out and searches for releases either on specific torrent sites or on usenet on a regular schedule.

When it finds a release, it will send the file to be downloaded either by transmission or nzbget, they then move it onto a shared drive which Jellyfin watches for media. It takes a bit to setup but once you get it going, there is very little maintenance that you need to do with it.

If you're someone who is familiar with Docker, I recommend looking into the github repository that linuxserver.io maintains here https://github.com/linuxserver -- they maintain a lot of images like sonarr and radarr here. Happy sailing!
