Anyone have recommendations for setting up a mini home server to download and store torrented movies? I want something that "kinda just works", like what hardware and software? Only for movies I have consent and rights to torrent, ofcourse.

I am not a fan of movie piracy and as such i would recommend you stay away from kodi and irc. Deluge web torrent is the worst offender. All of these run on raspberry pis with huge usb storage extensions. Those tools are horrible and i dont recommend plugging in raspberry pi via hdmi to your tv or setting up file sharing. Even worse i dont recommend setting up pihole dns on the same rpi as it hides ads.

A Synology NAS works well for this as a 'just works' plus plenty of space configuration
