6. Actual torrenting

Step 0. Turn on your VPN if you have it! You don't want troubles, troubles are associated most heavily with companies that are huge and known for hunting down people.

Always make double sure it is working before you open the torrenting client, before you open torrent files, before you open magnets! You can check if your IP changed by looking up sites that show you your own IP like https://www.iplocation.net/ so if your IP changed - it means you are ready, don't turn off the VPN as long as the torrenting client is running!

Step 1. Find the torrent file or magnet for the thing you want

You can open magnets from websites like piratebay, nyaa.si, rutracker or similar.
You usually can download them as torrent files too.
Or you can paste magnets directly into the client, and you can paste them into most browsers (web browser will ask you what program you want to open the link with and you select your torrenting client).

Step 2. Open the magnet link, open the torrent file, paste the magnet link into your web browser

It will probably either automatically open your client, or ask you whether or not you want to open your client.
You will tell it where to save it and such, then you click "OK" and start downloading.

Step 3. Wait until your files are downloaded

Some people have better connection, some worse, some torrents have nobody seeding (0 seeds) meaning there is nobody online now with what you are looking for. You need to hope anyone goes online, or find another source. It happens sometimes.

Step 4. Once you are finished and satisfied - stop seeding

In order to stop seeding usually left click on the thing you downloaded within the client, and select stop seeding option. So that you don't accidentally flash your real IP when you accidentally open the client without a VPN. It happened to me a few times. So just in case stop seeding.

Step 5. Now you can quit your torrenting client.

Make sure the process is dead by using Process Manager in Windows, or something like it to be sure it is dead. Kill the process.

Step 6. Once your torrenting client is off for good - you can now disconnect from the VPN.

Step 7. Profit. Done!!!
