I have some custom scripts which kinda do what the *arr apps do.

I download torrent files into a folder. My script picks it up, identifies whether it is movie, TV, music, Games, ebooks, or something else. Based on this it selects the right folder. Then calls Transmission API and adds the torrent with the relevant path.

In case of movies and TV shows, it then calls the transmission APIs to rename the files properly. This way I can have my folders well organised and continue seeding without the need of creating duplicates.

This setup works quite well. The only fear I have is the transmission remote GUI for Windows hasn't been updated in 4 years. It works quite well, but it's only a matter of time before it stops working.

Should I consider another client?

They'll ship it to India/Thailand

Are you an animal of prey? No? Then you shouldn't be eating lamb's meat.

I have had my Gmail account for 20 years (since the days of needed an invite). I have 100s of accounts where I have used the id. It's just not possible to change my email id everywhere. I imagine this would be the case for many people.

My first PC has a cyrix processor. I don't remember the model, just that it was 800 MHz

I find it laughable when journos focus on India's coal use. India has been way more aggressive on renewables as compared to what US was in this stage of their development cycle. The richest nation in the world, produces 7 times CO2 per capita compared to India, but somehow it's India's responsibility to focus on renewables and not the USA's, which is still using coal and oil like anything.

There's usually some settings you need to change on your torrent tool, like disarming different, DHT, etc - the sure usually has instructions for beginners.

Not at all required. The client sees a private torrent and does all that automatically.

That was, of course, just a random example of a job that cannot be done from home. A lot of jobs do require physical presence of people, that's all I was trying to say.

Of course, a milkman would also require to travel to and fro their place of work, dunno why they cannot be on a bus for that.

Very hard to deliver milk over VPN

I have tried this. I'm often reminded the next day that they still haven't received a reply from me.
