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

    Step 1: download the free ProtonVPN app; https://protonvpn.com/download

    Step 2: download the free qbittorrent app; https://www.qbittorrent.org/

    Step 3: download vlc media player; https://www.videolan.org/vlc/

    Step 4: install and connect ProtonVPN to a free server.

    Step 5: Pick a public torrent website from the wiki and look for a movie you want to watch.

    Step 6: copy the magnet link the website lists and add it to bittorrent. Wait for it to connect and download.

    Step 7: enable showing extensions if you use windows; https://www.howtogeek.com/205086/beginner-how-to-make-windows-show-file-extensions/

    Step 8: make sure that all your downloaded files only ever play in vlc, and that they arent .exe files.

    Step 9: leave qbittorrent running (and seeding!) On your computer after your movies are downloaded.

        Yes, but it still works. So long as you don’t overdo it, like someone who isn’t new to this, it’ll work just fine for a start.

          I don’t know how it work for you but not me. Are you sure you lock qbitorrent to the VPN only? Otherwise qbitorrent may just use you normal internet.

      For newbies qbitrorrent’s search is more than adequate enough to replace steps 5-7. But this is a great guide!

        Yes, the search is great for starting out! But i think you need to add the python-search plugins first, right? Not that its hard to do but it is something that needs to be done first
