As the other comment says, use hardlinks and then you can have several copies of the file across the same partition all reference the same file, using just the storage space needed for one copy of the file. Still RAR files will need to be extracted first, so those would require just about twice the file size, but hopefully people stop using rar, so that’s not a concern.

My media server is not the same as my seed box.
If you’re copying a file to another server there’s still no reason to delete it on the seedbox until you have to.
And I have to. I am seeding a lot of things, but I only have about 300GB left to play around with, so things get deleted now.
I’m guessing your seedbox is always on?
So why not use a shared folder?
My seed box isn’t connected to my network and I don’t want it to be.
