Unless you're Canadian, then you can just raw dawg pirate whatever with no repercussion. IP cannot be associated to an identity here. At worst you get cease and desists notices emailed to you by your ISP but you can ignore them, ISPs are obligated to forward these. Especially notices from companies outside of Canada.

It all depends on where you live, in Poland they don't care unless you're pirating polish productions. Then the fist of God crushes you. Allegedly

VPN, torrenting software, go online and only download from legal parties and don’t pirate ever.

On windows, I used Mullvad VPN and Qbittorrent. The settings suggested by Rodneyck are also what I used for qbittorrent.

And a tip: if you notice qbittorrent is not downloading your torrents but has lots of seeders and your VPN is connected... try restarting qbittorrent (right click the tray icon and quit) and it should start downloading.

You will want to find a proper torrent site, this is not going to be easy considering you’re new to this. Using public sites you get a world of other problems such as malware.

Getting a seed box is an option, then you can install a media server like Jellyfin. But a lot of reputable seed boxes don’t allow public trackers.
