I don’t torrent much, but my NZB and torrent clients both get throttled on a schedule. I have no need for my automations to go fast or fill up my NAS overnight (slight hyperbole but I do often get 50MB/sec on well-hosted downloads, which is not sustainable in terms of storage cost.)
I pause during the day for work, low throttle (500KB/s) during non-work hours in morning and evening, and at night once we’re asleep a moderate cap (5MB/sec. ) I also have some mild traffic shaping QoS on the router so the kids streaming won’t affect my Zoom meetings, for example.
Things added manually go straight to the top of the queue, and sometimes I’ll un-throttle for a particular download that I’m waiting for.
That’s been going on since Blockbuster was a growth company. Like 20 years ago, for the TV (or maybe DVD, I forget which) release of Get Shorty, they 'shopped in an Oldsmobile Sillouette minivan as a product placement, replacing the original vehicle.
“Its the Cadillac of minivans.”
edit: Actually, the Olds was the one in the theatrical release, which got replaced with another make/model for TV. All the releases I can find so far include the Sillouette.
That’s a super tenuous connection. Having their name listed as a partner of a cyber alliance doesnt mean much.

Adding:

I’ve gotten some from Newegg that were only wrapped in bubble wrap.
You got the VIP treatment! I swore off NewEgg for 20 years because they packed 1200 CD-RWs poorly, which caused the product to be mostly ruined by jostling around in the box. They wanted me to pay return shipping or no refund at all for the useless product.
Good to hear they haven’t changed the shipping department.
Not everyone has to, though. I use one instance for a wide variety of resolutions, depending on the show and consumption model; including 360,480,720,1080, 2160 (HDR/10-bit). But I run Plex on a box with quicksync that is doing my transcoding for me.
So why have you chosen to run different instances?
Most guides are for the initial setup, so if you are not starting from scratch, YMMV.
This is the one that put me on the right track, but it’s for older version of Ubuntu, so it’s not exact step-by-step because it’s old.
A more updated guide to the same basic setup, but i’ve never used it so I can’t vouch for whether it is accurate:
https://www.knthost.com/nextcloud/nextcloud-memory-caching-with-apcu-and-redis
(edit: I just checked and it is accurate, but it just hand-waves away the redis setup. which is not insignificant)
Here is the NC docs page.
Note: If you are short on RAM or want the simpler version for home/lan use, you can just set up APCu and get a decent performance boost. I got better performance with both: APCu for file locking along with redis for memcaching. But setting up both will be a bit more complicated to setup and maintain.
Six months ago, I was exactly where you are, but updating host OS, then updating Nextcloud to 27, and setting up memcaching worked great for me. Get everything updated before doing the setup, though, or you’ll break shit and have to troubleshoot.
It can be slow out of the box, but if you set up locking/memcaching (I use APCu+redis), it’s way faster.
I get not wanting to mess with it though. I was at that point until I got more free time. Now I have mine running smoothly, but I had to put in maybe 10 hours to iron out all the things, although that includes upgrading the host OS because it had gotten old. If I had a full time job, I’d probably just pay for a fully hosted NC.
I mean… emby or jellyfin would be a better replacement for Plex.
But why not those? I bought a lifetime Plex Pass for $30 or something ages ago when the competition was garbage, so I already have a smoothly working setup for Plex. No reason to force my kids, their grandparents, etc, to a new interface for very little upside. Plex just works. I have tried the others and they’re okay, but nothing compelling enough to force the change.
The issue is also rampant with PS5, unfortunately.
