Torrent Tips:
I hate JavaScript, because not only is it used to identify you, but also enables ads and malware.
Since torrenting often is illegal and risky for a website operator, there’s a high motivation for the website to try to spam you with ads, or sometimes even put malware tracker cookies.
Tor browser safer mode often will fail with certain sites, so you want to use a torrent site that doesn’t need JavaScript, even if you will be downloading the torrent itself over just a VPN. I’ve found LibreY to be reliable for “No JavaScript” torrents. It’s an open source front-end aggregator that pulls from a couple of sources. It needs the tracking URL to function, but that’s way better than getting cookie bombed with affiliate trackers.
Farside can serve you fresh instances of this open source software hosted on different VPS. Either pick from the list on:
https://farside.link/
Or run this link, and it auto-serves you a fresh one:
https://farside.link/librey
And as a heads up, LibreY is the new version of the (now old) LibreX. Then you want an open source torrent client on Linux, such as qBitTorrent. But any will do, search your package manager.
