Is there a way for me to seed movies, but be able to maintain the file structure? (lemm.ee)

An example is if I want to seed Harry Potter movies can I put the content in G:\Movies\Harry Potter\

But then be able to still seed the content outside the Harry Potter file structure. I.e still able to seed G:\Movies\

Seconding hardlinks, but one (potentially important) note is that they won’t work on a NAS. A hardlink basically tells the drive there are two ways to navigate to the same file on the disc. But this doesn’t work over a networked drive, (at least, not in my experience) even if the two locations stay on the same drive.

You would probably have to run the hardlink command on the NAS through SSH or something to achieve the same effect but it should still be possible.
