Yeah, I hated it too. If I had a server automatically downloading torrents at all times on my network, I could kiss goodbye to online gaming and voice calls with my swarm, and even browsing and work would slow to a crawl. I guess I’d spend a lot more time reading physical books while waiting for the internet to work.
If I have 100 gigabytes free on my media drive, and I have Columbo and Friends on my to watch list, and I also want to keep up with Invincible as new episodes come out, then auto downloading would fuck me. It would fill that 100 gigabytes with 10 seasons of sitcoms and 10 seasons of detective shows, and then next week when the new Invincible episode comes out, there’s no room for it. But I definitely would rather watch the new Invincible on a timely basis than another season of Ross getting into arguments with Rachel. I can watch Chandler make bad jokes any time, and it’ll take me ages to get to season 10 if I’m on season 2

Limit your torrent program to half of your internet speed.
You should look into hard linking: https://trash-guides.info/Hardlinks/Hardlinks-and-Instant-Moves/. Remaining and no double storage
As for trakt isn’t that what you want? If you haven’t watched it and it’s on your watch list why filter things out?
