  • Thx!

    I dont know how to build mobile app, at least not yet. It should work fine on mobile browser tho, it looks good enough on my phone. Did you try opening the page on your phone?

    I was thinking about mobile reminders. Before this app I made a same thing under home assistant. I have made automations for android notifications, I also made another automation that sets alarms on Android device every morning. I ended up not using them since built in clock alarms work every time and dont rely on anything. I’m considering that anyway and I might give it a shot soon






  • Thank you. The files I download are usually 5-30 GB size. I don’t want to max out my internet speed, I just want to get the files in media library ASAP after requesting download manually (happens maybe few times a week)

    It makes sense, Ill test sequential and random write performance and maybe even test it since I have the hardware available.

    At first I wasn’t aware that my speed is super low for HDD, therefore I was looking for some magic solution with SSD speeds and HDD storage that might not even exist. I have to do more testing for sure


  • Thx. Ive seen dd commands in guides how to test drive speed, but I’m not sure how can I specify what drive I want to test. I see I could change “if” and “of”, but don’t trust myself enough to use my own modified commands before understanding them better. Will read more about that. Honestly I’m surprised drive speed test is not easier, but its probably just me still being noob xD



  • I have managed to copy with rsync and getting 180 MB/s. I guess my initial assumption was wrong, HDD is obviously not bottleneck here, it can get close to ISP speed. Thank you for pointing this out, Ill do more testing these days. Im kinda shocked because I never knew HDD can be that fast. Gonna reread all the comments as well

    It will download faster to SSD, but then I have to wait the files to be moved to HDD before getting them imported in media server. Im not after big numbers in qbit, I just want to start watching faster if possible. Sorry Im probably not explaining well and Im not sure if Im asking for something that even make sense



  • Oh, you are talking about torrent client settings? I could spare 1-2 GB of RAM, but not more than that (got 16 GB in total). I see this might help a lot, but I would I still be limited with HDD max write speed? Using SSD for temporary files sounds great, but waiting files to be coppied to HDD would slow it down if I understood correctly
