Get a Synology NAS, put HDDs in it, easily install Torrent client and media server software, and enjoy.
A NAS is a box for HDDs, a low-powered computer to drive them, an OS, and some bits of software you choose to run on it.
He literally just said he didn't want a NAS. All he needs then is to a get a couple 2-4 TB SSDs, and just stick them in his computer. Boom done
I got that but wondered if he knew what an NAS can be. It doesn't need to be complicated but you are right: he can just add a bunch of HDDs to his current PC and install the necessary server apps. But I doubt someone who doesn't want to bother with an added NAS has a PC that can host a bunch of extra SATA drives.
I know what I'm doing, and I don't want a NAS. I have a 4Tb M.2 as my boot & games drive, and 2x 14TB HDD for Media. I have Plex installed and it's great.
Most people don't need a NAS. Unless you're running a full network setup like Linus, a NAS isn't needed.
I can watch stuff on my PC, or I can cast to the living room TV, while the missus casts to the bedroom PC.
