Use your torrent client in a docker behind a VPN, traffic won't be a problem them. Use Usenet for most downloads, torrents for fills.

With the prices of streaming rising so much I decided to take more effort to build my media server and put the money towards that but I need to automate it as much as possible.
I have a PC I'm using as a server right now, it has Freenas currently but I'm open to any solution that is easy, I use a private tracker and a seedbox to acquire media I used to go the usenet route but it got to the point where every new file was taken down too quickly or incomplete. Using a seedbox I suppose I don't need to go the private tracker route if public trackers are easier. One thing I used to have when using Usenet/SabNZB was I could setup a site for my wife to request a movie and it would find and downloads it automatically, not sure if that is an option or if its just easier to do that through a program like Jackett or Radarr.
Currently I manually click the file and it opens and downloads via deluge daemon on my seedbox and transfers to my fileserver automatically using syncthing. I had RSS setup but i was getting too many duplicates and filling the hard drive.
Looking to streamline this procedure for both movies/TV and add auto download of new episodes etc, using the easiest fileserver/OS for this and any tricks/tips.

Overserr will make it dead simple for your wife/non techy users to request stuff. And you shouldn't end up with duplicates in Radarr/Sonarr if you set up your rules properly to not upgrade the episode/movie past a certain quality point
https://trash-guides.info/ has some really good info on all the different settings.
You can also set up MDBLists or use Trakt lists to automate your movie adds/customize rules around what rating of movies get added and which don't. There are ways you can compress/delete movies too that can save on HDD space or you can set Sonarr/Radarr to only download HEVC which will save you tons of storage.
