I'm happy enough to seed til kingdom come, but I'm not aware of any facility that allows this with the 'Arrs.

Is there a way to continue seeding after download is completed, and also after the files have been moved and renamed to conform to whatever convention you have in place that the media players can pick up?

I currently have them continuing for 3x ratio in the downloads folder but that's duplicating files for who knows how long, and I don't have an enormous amount of space.

Can the torrent client be hooked back to the files under their new names, and can it be automated?

I just set *arr to not delete media after it copies it into my library and then I have qBittorrent set to remove and delete torrents once I hit the seed ratio I have defined.

This does take double the storage while I continue seeding but I have plenty of extra so I haven't worried about it.

It probably doesnt. Its using hard linking by default. You have files in both folders but they take space only for one. You have to delete both to free up space
