Yeah it will be faster, but its extra step before the files get available on HDD.
Even if my HDD is super fast and healthy it would still be a bottleneck for 2Gbps fiber? Ill deffo play with HDD more to find max speeds, wasnt paying attention before because it felt normal to me

Yeah feels like that lol. Thx anyway, have a nice day dude
what OP wants is to download the file to a SSD, be able to use it on the SSD for a time, and then have the file moved to spinning disk later when they don't need to wait for it.
this is just adding an extra step to the process before the file can be available to use. you're just saving the copying to the HDD until the very end of the torrent.

what is the point of faster download if you just have to do another entire copy after that?

or you could, you know, think about it for a second from their point of view. and they have already clarified this in other comments.

wtf does raid have to do with anything here? yeah, sure, I'm the slow one.

the dude asks about SSD cash for torrents and your multimillion-dollar answer is "raid". lol
as people have already pointed out multiple times, what OP wants is something like mergerfs or unraid which can handle files on SSD cash and then move to spinning disks later.
It seems that the commenter’s intention was clear to everyone except you. The commenter acknowledged the need for RAID software or a specific file system, mentioning that it had already been addressed. Understood the budget and OP being an newb.
Although their tone may have been blunt, they stayed focused on their original point.
But you just kept nagging. lol
Either way OP was helped and now you can sleep knowing you did your part. A true internet hero.
