I2P is significantly better for torrents and file sharing. Check it out, there are implementations in C++ and either rust or go as well as java: https://i2p.net/
That does not dissuade the keepers of the old ways who know the agony and triumph of whole series downloads spanning months, watching that extra green pixel light up as another random chunk came through day after day until finally the progress bar became whole.
Yeah you’re right and the only secure method I know of is Tor hidden services which never exit the network itself. Both you and the server will never know where the other is. It’s kind of like an anonymous dead drop in a park between a spy and their handler.
I2p is another good system to use for torrenting as well it’s just slow as balls (might be better now?) but you don’t need a VPN for that either since it uses garlic routing inspired by Tor’s onion routing.
Tor is untraceable and 100% free
Thanks to node operators like me 🏴

Very true. Different solutions with different strengths.
I haven’t tried Nym but IIUC design-wise it seems like the best anonymity network for torrenting

Can you dumb it down for me how to get started with tor? or link me in the right direction?
2a. Go to Tor “hidden services” listed at places like https://dark.fail/
https://torproject.org/
I thought Tor says NOT to use it for piracy cause it’ll be slow as balls

Don’t governments run their own Tor exit nodes as honeypots?

it is a US military program, so yes, they run nodes as honeypots.
this is way to valuable to be used against pirates though.
The good thing is that it’s in the US military’s interest to actually keep it private and secure though.
Yep. They wouldn’t want to show their hand too much.
