Is a network folder suitable for DC++ and uTorrent downloads?

Question

HTPC

If you select a network folder on the server as the download path in the DC ++ or uTorrent settings, what could be the consequences? How heavily will computer resources be used? Why is this option bad?
The point is that you want to watch movies from your home server, and choose and download from your computer.
In the case of uTorrent, WebUI saves, but much more often I download from DC ++, whose clients are all under Windows and their web interface leaves much to be desired.
VNC is inconvenient.
If someone advises another way to add downloads to DC ++ through a computer to the server, I will be glad.

Answer 1

When running DC ++ on the client, you can simply split it into different folders: a temporary folder (current downloads) on the client, and a destination folder on the server.
In the settings, you just need to specify a temporary folder for incomplete downloads. Thus, the file will be downloaded to a temporary folder on the client, and then when downloaded automatically it will be moved to the folder that the user selected when starting the download. A variant without any external batch files, etc.
If memory serves there, even restarting the client or server will not be critical. When you restart DC++, it will just keep copying.

Answer 2

Well, why do it manually, you can make a batch file and run it after the download is completed. I think DC++ supports it too. Downloading over the network is not recommended. I come purely from practice.
There is no access to the disk over the network, which means the file is written to memory, and not to a temporary file. That's what @sonik_spb has inflated the paging file. And what will happen with files of 40 GB?
So it's either the scheduler or moving on completion of the jump, there are no other options.

Answer 3

I don’t know about DC, but the torrent normally downloads to a network drive =)

Answer 4

Torrent can be used without a web interface at all. Just feed torrent files to a predetermined folder (which can also be synchronized in the dropbox, and generally added from any download location)
What do you need from the DC interface ?? It seems that StrongDC and FlylinkDC have a web interface that allows you to add magnet links. What else is needed?
You can download from a client computer. Then transfer to the server through some folder synchronizer (like dropbox, only local). Filter completed/incomplete files either by folders or by extension (under-downloaded files in DC have their own extension).

Answer 5

Working with a network folder via the SMB protocol is similar to working with a regular local drive. Consequences - theoretically less reliable, for example, a network folder may be disconnected and the file will not be uploaded. The disadvantage is that the network folder is already loaded with something else (copying), the write speed may drop significantly. Or vice versa - the speed from the Internet is faster than the speed of writing to a network folder.
