Many people that have large digital libraries run something like jellyfin and let their friend stream the content

This is something I’ve always wanted to start but it’s so intimidating to think of getting a library started. Do people offer their libraries as downloads to friends? I’d assume there’s torrents of movies and book packages of genres or something, but how difficult would it be to copy them over to a group of hard drives.

Yes, this. I’m kinda my families personal Netflix. I use Plex but I’ve been meaning to try Jellyfin.

I’m uninterested in piracy, but if you have a bunch of physical media, I’m happy to share my rips. And I’ll take your word on what you own. :)

How big of a library do you have? I have a goal of buying an HD tower plus 6 more HDD to host everything. Yes, my physical library is pretty decent but my current digital one can fit on just a few external HDs. :/

Something in the 100-200 range, so reasonably sizeable, but not huge. Most are DVDs, but we have a bunch of Bluray as well, and I’ve ripped them all.
