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?

Sonarr/Radarr can be set up to use hardlinks instead of copying files. That way the file will appear in both places but it will only take up the storage space a single time. I believe it's one of the advanced options under media management.

This is correct. Hard linking is also enabled by default.

Given that it's not enabled makes me think that they've got some sort of weird setup like network drives or separate mounts (Docker?) or gasp they're running the *arrs on Windows.

Well, that or they just didn't notice that hardlinks were already working.
