I don't actually use plex for it's content but as a GUI for me to access and to keep track of what I have and also the
episodes I have watched. All my content is offline on a dedicated PC with 14 HDD's at the moment, and that's where the
3000+ series are stored, so the excel list is actually a list of what I have on my TV series PC. I very rarely watch anything
live. Apart from what I get on the torrents I also acquire some series from AMZ,BBC ETC and a couple of Australian sites
although I am in the UK. All of my content used to come from the news groups at one time but it got harder to track stuff
down so torrents took over. I will look at other things you have mentioned out of interest, thank you.

Storing things on hdd can always be quite handy I've never really seen the need to...
Unless I was traveling but I guess keeping a copy of everything has its perks. I'm also
in the UK so getting the stuff from outside the UK is just a must but not really played
with Plex felt it didn't suit me for what I use torrents for the only time I use live is
sports or if I think something will take awhile to be uploaded so having a good IPTV
service is always a bonus altho Aussie content is minimal that's where rlsbb is great.
come across a few good AUS n NZ series recently! Definitely look into debrid it has
like 'my downloads in downloader' everything you've downloaded will be there if say
you want to re download it. I checked your theory with remote traffic ticked and it
was that I got the same error, so even I learnt something today and that's for if you
want to share a link with someone who doesn't have debrid I believe.

That makes sense. With Plex and my dedicated PC it's like having my own streaming service [probably more shows than
NOW TV] that I can access from anywhere and share full access to it with anyone I send a link to and it is free.

A friend done something similar but on a private server, it was good but I opted for
my route haha I actually showed him and he was shocked how quickly I was getting
the files. All the online mainstream streaming platforms are rubbish you need about
5 subs for all content and can't even get it all as it's geo blocked... Spend a fortune
for nothing basicly if they were to all join forces 1 big platform for the world
everyone would be happy.
