- Don’t torrent without a VPN, seriously!
- +1 for Mullvad VPN, it’s privacy focused and works great!
- Use qBittorrent, it’s the standard torrenting software that basically everyone uses nowadays. It’s lightweight and reliable.
- Make sure to set up qBittorrent after installing it, go into settings and bind your network interface to your VPN so even if your VPN is off accidentally or gets kicked off somehow you will be safe. You can also setup the “kill-switch” functionality in most VPNs so that it kills qBittorrent if it goes off, but that’s not always 100% reliable.
As far as Udemy courses, I’ve yet to find a good source for them myself, at least any relatively newer courses. I’ve never tried to find art courses but I’d say using a torrent search engine like Knaben or qBittorrent’s built in search functionality.
+1 for Frugal Usenet as well, I’ve had a good experience with them so far
