I never did it. How can I do it? And where I need to go for it?

Start by checking the Megathread and other resources in the sidebar.

These resources are really all you need, but they're all individually quite focused so for a new person it can be hard to see the forest.

An overview:

For movies, streaming sites are fine.

To start torrenting safely:

  • get a paid vpn (i use mullvad)
  • download qbittorrent or the like
  • find a public tracker from the megathead, general ones are easy/convenient for starting imo
  • virus scan/use common sense/be careful

I thought Mullvad didn’t port forward any more so torrents didn’t work with it?

It works for me... I think it's something like it goes faster with port forwarding but to be honest I don't know the details.
