The reason why we use `/data/torrents/` for the torrent client is because it only needs access to the torrent files. In the torrent software settings, you’ll need to reconfigure paths and you can sort into sub-folders like `/data/torrents/{tv|movies|music}`.

The default path setup suggested by some docker developers that encourages people to use mounts like `/movies`, `/tv` and`/downloads` is very suboptimal and it makes them look like two or three file systems, even if they aren’t (*Because of how Docker’s volumes work*). It is the easiest way to get started. While easy to use, it has a major drawback. Mainly losing the ability to hardlink or instant move, resulting in a slower and more I/O intensive copy + delete is used.

Plex, Emby, JellyFin and Bazarr only needs access to your media library using `/data/media`, which can have any number of sub folders like Movies, Kids Movies, TV, Documentary TV and/or Music as sub folders.
For this example we're going to make use of a share called `data`.
The `data` folder has sub-folders for `torrents` and `usenet` and each of these have sub-folders for `tv`, `movie` and `music` downloads to keep things neat. The `media` folder has nicely named `TV`, `Movies` and `Music` sub-folders, this is your library and what you’d pass to Plex, Emby or JellyFin.
