What are the cool kids using these days?

Seedboxes. Download the torrent on someone else's computer, and then directly download it to yours through an encrypted connection. Sorta like a "money-laundering" for pirated content.

Honestly still just using Qbittorrent with a VPN; it's a dream now that fibre is pretty ubiquitous. Mine hit 100MB/S yesterday, a 1.4Gb file takes about 10 seconds

Qbit+VPN to grab, radarr/sonarr to catalogue, overseerr to request, and plex/jellyfin to watch.

I was using torrents for years before I started messing with Usenet. Now I've got it set up it's easy to grab pretty much anything and at higher quality than before.
