Unpopular opinion: sub to a plex/emby server. All your favorite shows on one platform, probably in 4k too, works on all devices, you never need to think ahead about torrenting something. Mine is 10$/month.
What is the video bitrate of movies/shows in the share? Does it support transcoding or are they only doing direct stream?
I'm curious because OP wants higher quality and to save space I'm usually using similar bitrate as commercial streaming services for my media library.
Transcoding for 1080p, which is usually 6-7mbit/s, you can downsample it to 300kbits if you like. FYI, Netflix is about 2-3mbit, premium is like maybe 10.
Transcoding is not allowed for 4k.
4k bitrate varies from 10mbit/s to like 60-80mbit/s, so at least 100mbit link is recommended.
Almost all new content is available both in 1080p and 4k. Some older stuff only in 4k.
