Thank you! I'm glad I asked. I'll get on drive replacement ASAP and won't take any other array actions until then.

Apologies if this has been covered, I tried searching but couldn't find a definitive answer. I am trying to shrink my array by two drives and I've used Unbalance(d) to move files off of these disks. My understanding is that if the disks are empty, I can remove both disks from the array at the same time and let parity rebuild once. I was preparing to do this when another drive in my array started showing read errors, telling me it's likely time for a replacement. What I'd like to do is, in one fell swoop, replace the failing drive with a new drive and remove the two empty disks from my array and only have to rebuild parity once but I want to make sure this is not a stupid thing to do. I'm also open to people talking me into the alternate method for shrinking array where parity is preserved but I got the sense that method is not well tested and the scripts are not being maintained anymore.

Thanks for the response, I'll check with my provider. I had previously asked them if they restrict any ports, but I can see now that they may have assumed I meant outbound ports. I take it that no additional configuration is needed if my provider isn't restricting incoming ports, other than making sure the Deluge incoming port matches whatever port/port range my provider supports? Thanks!

I hope this hasn't been answered a million times already, but apparently the incoming port for Deluge is blocked by default (or at least it is if one uses a custom VPN, like I am). Is there a work-around for this that anyone has discovered? I've been digging through the config to try to make heads or tails of how I might make the appropriate changes to iptables myself but I'm a total novice.
