I used to torrent things back in highschool until Comcast sent my parents a couple emails, one from torrenting Fable another from Jay-Z's American Gangster (which I still love to this day). So I get how it works and what I need.
But I just got a VPN and now I'm ready to get back into it. Before I was on a Mac and I used Transmission. Is that still a good client to use on Windows? Or are there other ones I should use instead? Is 🏴☠️bay a safe place for magnets, or somewhere else? My computer sucks so I won't be going after new games, just older ones and some shows that aren't streaming but I want to checkout.
And am I really that safe using a VPN? Like untraceable, no emails or letters from my ISP for downloading shit?
extra tip: if you use qbittorrent, you can install search plugins, letting you search multiple torrent sites at once right there in the app

This plus installing and configuring jackett is heaven. (Don't forget to sign up for a rutracker dot org account using a throw-away email as they have a lot of stuff. And add that to jackett).
