### Breakdown of the Folder Structure

#### Torrent clients

qBittorrent, Deluge, ruTorrent

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}`.

```none
data
└── torrents
   ├── movies
   ├── music
   ├── books
   └── tv
```

#### Usenet clients

NZBGet or SABnzbd

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

```none
data
└── usenet
   ├── movies
   ├── music
   ├── books
   └── tv
```

#### The Starr Apps

Sonarr, Radarr, Readarr and Lidarr

Sonarr, Radarr, Readarr and Lidarr gets access to everything using `/data` because the download folder(s) and media folder will look like and be one file system. Hardlinks will work and moves will be atomic, instead of copy + delete.

```none
data
├── torrents
│  ├── movies
│  ├── music
│  ├── books
│  └── tv
├── usenet
│  ├── movies
│  ├── music
│  ├── books
│  └── tv
└── media
   ├── movies
   ├── music
   ├── books
   └── tv
```

#### Media Server

Plex, Emby, JellyFin and Bazarr

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.

```none
data
└── media
   ├── movies
   ├── music
   ├── books
   └── tv
```
