Welcome to /c/piracy
No netflix or streaming services landlubbers allowed, this is pirates territory.
These stats capture 1 year of torrenting on a TrueNas scale machine I built as soon as fiber showed up on my street. It was my first ever proper rack mount server. I use this machine primarily for torrenting and jellyfin transcoding via an RTX 2080. The plan is to soon set it up for navidrome. Machine sits around 230 watts. Feel free to offer TrueNas scale tips.
Quite odd cpu choice for the job. True, it's still a beast, although very power inefficient when idle. Rtx2080 on a top of that adds even more power consumption. Your gear consuming 230W with 4 disks.
For comparison my one with core i5-13500, 5x hdd, 1x ssd, but 1x nvme.... 55W average over the years.
Haha yep, the CPU is honestly not a good fit at all... The only reason I used it is because I already had it. I decided to build this server mostly from parts scavenged off my old gaming PC. I rationalize the choice since the server sits in a basement that I struggle to keep warm. You've got me thinking though... It might be worth it to get into the BIOS and make sure I'm on ECO mode, at least.
What is your share ratio?Must be good, since you help seeding so much! size ratio of "Uploaded / Downloaded " > 1 I guess
It was over 32,000 on torrentleech for a year. Down to a paltry ratio of 133 these days.
