I'll start. Did you know you can run a headless version of JD2 on a raspberry pi? It's not the greatest thing in the world, but sometimes its nice to throw a bunch of links in there and go to sleep.

Are they all running on the Pi, or just the torrenting tools?

Everything is running on Pi. But I have Raspberry Pi 4 with 4GB of ram. Actually I have Raspberry Pi 400, which is basically 4GB variant of Raspberry Pi 4, with slightly overclocked CPU and passive cooling, inside small keyboard, but I only got that because Raspberry Pi 4 was out of stock.

My 5¢, got a similar stack running fine on a Pi 4B 8GB (with Jellyfin instead of Plex). Just gotta make sure to direct play, it does not like transcoding too much, even with hw acceleration

Transcoding is also turned off in my case. But I couldn't get used to Jellyfin. I tried, but I just couldn't.

That's fair, never used Plex but I suppose it's more polished being a product and all. In my case, I read Plex requires an internet connection to work and I needed my media server to be available offline, so it was a deal-breaker

Jellyfin is actually very polished in my opinion. Using it very often

Works flakey at best. I could transcode but only 1080p anime caused by SSA subs. And it would buffer. A lot.
Today Jellyfin is really good with not causing uneccessary transcoding
