This will make it easy for humans to navigate from any device, and it will make automatic "library" scans able to easily do imdb/tvrage etc lookups based on folder names. This gives me a nice layout something like this: (gambling on ascii-art) Storage Personally I made a litt rss-reader in python that does searh or regexp match on items, pushes them to some configured program and then checks for finished downloads to unpack into appropriate folders.

In your client you could configure something to download just the items you are interested in. Most sites will happily provide you with rss feeds of what just arrived. If you are going the torrent way, use a client with support for rss. If you are going the nzb way, find a good manager to automate your downloads (sabnzbd etc).

If this is NOT your intention just ignore. I'm "assuming" you are going to download a shitton of pirated movies and tv-series and the rest of my answer is based on this assumtion. If you are planning to build a high performance storage for several simultaneous users you need proper hardware either way. Some will say that raid5/6 is a slow hog (they are right), but I'm assuming you are on a budget, and that there will not be a lot of concurrent operations going on. This gives you stability (xfs), flexibility (lvm) and the possibillity to lose a drive without losing all your data (md). First, you will want to have xsf over lvm over md(raid5/6).
