First off: I don't even have Unraid installed anywhere yet, so this may be premature, but I currently have 5 Western Digital Passport portable USB 3.0 external drives (3TB, 3TB, 2TB, 2TB, 500GB) connected to an AC powered 8-port USB Hub connected all connected to my Intel NUC. I also have a 12TB Western Digital Elements Drive that I was using to manually copy over all of my data (this was before I knew about rsync, Duplicati, etc). My Intel NUC uses a 250GB SSD which I'll use as a cache drive. My Unraid Boot Drive will be a 32GB USB-C Flash Drive. I have a few questions: Are there any downsides to shucking all of my portable hard drives and putting them into a 4-5 bay enclosure (like this one). I don't mind my current setup except it's kind of ugly. I feel like moving them to an external enclosure will increase my transfer speeds and potentially be better for energy consumption. Is this accurate? Also, is there a chance the drives could go to sleep and lose the connection? Has anyone had success or failure with that Sabrent enclosure specifically or recommend something similar? Does anyone have good ideas for how to migrate my whole setup to using Unraid? Each of the hard drives is formatted to EXT4, and the Intel NUC is running bare metal Ubuntu. Should I back up everything to my 12TB drive with Duplicati before formatting my drives? (I assume I'll have to reformat my drives when installing Unraid). If I use the 12TB Drive, would I only be able to use a parity drive if I got another 12TB drive? I worry about stability. My Intel NUC is a little on the fritz, but I love having a tiny server to play with. I also know if my pet project dies, so does all my data. Does it make sense to have something like a very basic Synology with my data backing up to something like Backblaze, and then use Unraid on the NUC and mount the Synology with SMB or NFS? (or even Ethernet if possible). Is this a common setup? My understanding is with Synology that you pretty much have to use RAID, and if I wanted any amount of parity, I would need to have drives all of the same size. It seems like Unraid is going to be way less expensive overall, but I don't know what to do. Synology DS220+ is about the same price as the Sabrent 5-Bay enclosure, so maybe it makes sense to do this? Do they play nicely? I've heard great things about ZFS (and some good things about BTRFS). If I were to use a NAS separately for files, would I have to keep it all as one consistent file system? What is the most reliable setup? I should also mention that cost, power consumption, and sound are my main concerns.

Deluge 1.3.1, 1.3.5, 1.3.6, 1.3.11 I agree with you. I don't really understand the reasoning as to why it's so out of date, but it's frustrating to say the least! I'm assuming there's no way to specify older versions?

Hey, not sure if this was mentioned anywhere else yet, but is there a way to specify the version of deluge we want to use? I'm using a private tracker that specifies versions that are compatible, and the default one from the supplied docker image is not on that list.
