On windows, I used Mullvad VPN and Qbittorrent. The settings suggested by Rodneyck are also what I used for qbittorrent.
And a tip: if you notice qbittorrent is not downloading your torrents but has lots of seeders and your VPN is connected... try restarting qbittorrent (right click the tray icon and quit) and it should start downloading.
You will want to find a proper torrent site, this is not going to be easy considering you’re new to this. Using public sites you get a world of other problems such as malware.
Getting a seed box is an option, then you can install a media server like Jellyfin. But a lot of reputable seed boxes don’t allow public trackers.
