    nyaa (eg https://nyaa.si) has the big quality for animes. Honestly I still just use pirate bay, but for quality it ain't the best.

    qBittorrent/Ktorrent are great softwares. Both allow you to go into settings and ensure you only allow encrypted connections, do this to prevent most ISP snooping on IP violations.

    If you're downloading stuff you must watch NOW. Qbittorrent lets you download your files sequentially so it can be streamed as you go.

      This is incomplete advice, because it does nothing for DMCA bots just sitting on the swarm and determining who is trying to connect. The only real solutions are to either pay for a seedbox, or pay for a VPN.

        QBittorrent also allows its connection to be forced to use a specific network adapter. Which is how it can be safely used by selecting the VPN's network adapter, it only connects to the internet once the VPN is on.

        Absolutely true, hence the 'most'. Bots pretending to be a user are.. iffy.. legally and technically, in most places, though, so it's not the typical way to catch people.

        Though to also claim there's a "real solution" is itself misleading, legally both of those can easily be traced back to you as well, and as those solutions are paid for and properly authorised, you won't be able claim the defence of "someone else must have been on my wifi".
