‘The obvious alternative is to become a subscription-based service like Netflix and Amazon Prime. Given the BBC’s global brand recognition and its reputation for producing premium content, it could become the largest and most profitable streaming service in the world.’
Maybe if your programming was to the quality of 20 years ago you COULD make that argument but in it's current state? Unless the BBC went like Amazon but FULLY digitised their ENTIRE archives including 'lost episodes' and made them available for subscribers, there isn't much they can offer.
It’ll be like why I refuse to watch shows like South Park other than on the seas. They will quietly remove episodes that aren’t “suitable for modern audiences”. They’ve done it to shows even as tame as 30 Rock for an episode that had 5 seconds of black face, to make fun of black face. Plex or equivalent and an external hd
Do you have a suggestion for a client (or server) that does round-robin on torrents? I've been considering writing a script to manage that externally with Transmission.

Yes and for a "huge" investment of just $200 you can get an 18 TiB data drive - that's big enough to preserve so much history.
You don't even need a backup for it, just back up the torrent files and if the drive fails download them again.
I do this but only enable the ones that need more seeds so it doesn't use all my bandwidth. Or use a client that does them all round robin.
