How do you keep track of what you've already downloaded?

I use tags in qbittorrent, with auto-categorize so it puts them in the correct folder automatically, to work with various media apps ( jellyfin for video, navidrome for music, calibre for books ).

I use those apps to peruse the various libraries, they’re better at organizing and displaying content better than a filesystem explorer.

I’d have to create a single volume from all the hard drives to be able to use the categories.

Here is the difference between categories and tags for who doesn’t know about them like myself:

Categories are for categorising the contents of your torrents. For example you may have the categories ‘Films + TV’, ‘Games’, ‘Music’ and ‘Software’. You cannot assign more than 1 category to a torrent.

Also categories can specify where they get downloaded. For example in ‘~/Films + TV’, ‘~/Games’, ‘~/Music’ or ‘~/Software’.

Tags are for categorising the actual torrents. For example you may have the tags ‘Archived’, ‘Important’, ‘2019’ and ‘2020’. You can assign more than 1 tag to a torrent.
