I use the *arrs to make a well named hard link to the file in my media library right after the download completes. Then they can be removed from the torrent client after appropriate seeding time/ratio.
No point in keeping the torrent if I no longer have the file. Unless it’s something I know I will re-watch/use multiple times, I delete the file after I’ve used it.
Why delete the torrent? The point of torrenting is to use the file.

Lots of people don’t have the storage space to keep every piece of media that they download. Once it’s been watched or listened to, it’s deleted.
Depending on the torrent, it’s faster to consume it than to seed it.
Because deleting the torrent doesn’t delete the file?
But if you are keeping the file anyways why not seed it?
Disk I/O on mechanical hard drives especially
What should i keep the iso i had to extract the setup files from around?
To help others download the file. Its the point of torrenting, to share.
